Carolina Crashes and Burns Against BC

Ugh. Now that was an ugly performance. When even Hansbrough is missing even his free throws, it is going to be a long night.

But I actually welcome the loss, as the Heels have been on autopilot for close to a month. Everybody's been praising them for winning all their games by 20, but they should have won many of them by 40. (Granted, Roy doesn't like running up the score, but I didn't get the feeling that was what was doing it.) It's unfortunate that this of all years they have an uncharacteristically easy OOC schedule, and that's really hurt them. They're just not being challenged. Granted, a loss at home against a mediocre team is pretty rough as wake-up calls go, but it might be just the kind of major-league kick in the butt that's needed.
