You're listening to the Inside Carolina podcast sponsored by Johnny T-shirt.com. Sherell Carolina, 8370. I'll admit, I started the game a little late, so I had to catch up. Louisville came out and wanted to try to punch Caroline in the mouth. I felt like early. And it was a let-em-play type game game in the paint and not sure what was going on

outside of their paint for the officiating but your overall take on what you saw as carolina

settled down for the 13 point win i thought once they um like you said once they took that initial

punch i think it was eight to eight and then no colina went a-0 run and then they kind of stretched it out to 32, 31. Then Louisville came back, got it down to 1 after Carolina was up 12. I thought the most important part of the game was the way North Carolina closed the first half. So they were up 34 to 33. It ended up being up 45, 35 at halftime. So even though they lost the 12-point lead that they had, they got all of it but two points back. And then in the second half, I know Louisville got within eight or six a couple of times, but I never really felt like UNC was threatened because they just couldn't stop UNC from scoring. The only time UNC really, you know, didn't play well on offense was when they were taking rushed bad shots.

All the other times when they were patient and were driving, you know, getting the ball into the paint, they scored kind of at will.

So I thought it was a very methodical win.

There was definitely some scary moments with Garrison Brooks going down and then Kenny Williams going down.

I saw Kobe White kind of limping a little bit and Nassir went down one time.

So you hope you just get out of the ACC tournament healthy and I think they'll go home and rest

and get ready for it tomorrow night.

Yeah, seeing them get banged around, Kenny Williams especially the way that, the way his shoulder was off was certainly

has given, had to give no Carolina fans visions of many a season where injuries played a

significant role, but perhaps they're healthy, you know, the thing about the ACC tournament

is it's a turnaround, 24-hour turnaround no matter what.

Let's talk about a couple things that I mentioned to you right before we got started. No, I don't talk about Brandon

Robinson. He played 14 minutes, seven points. I thought he came up big and a lot of people

will talk about his threes that he took, but I thought he looked good on the rebounding and on the

defense. And, you know, and he picked up three fouls. You got them. Give them. But I thought Robinson
