The Tar Heels came out flat in this one, falling behind 13-0 in the first six minutes. The rest of the game, however, was dominated by Carolina as they raced to a 78-51 victory over UNLV. The Rebels devised a game plan to keep the ball out of the paint, doubling the UNC bigs any time they received the ball on the block. The Heels were getting open shots early passing out of those double teams, but they just weren’t falling. Andrew Platek finally got things started with a three-pointer at the 13:47 mark of the first half, and the offense started flowing after that.
