Welcome to another podcast by Inside Carolina.com, the independent voice of UNC Sports, your home for Tar Heel football, basketball, and recruiting.

Welcome to the Inside Carolina podcast, John Siegel here with Ross Martin, bringing you our instant reactions to the

Heels 77 to 57 win over Harvard just a few short minutes ago.

So, Ross, let's kind of start this one, overall impressions of the team and the win.

You know, we talked about just very briefly off air.

Both of us just kind of see it as another, you know, just non-conference win against

a Harvard team that I said really wasn't that great.

And they kind of showed it.

But, you know, what's your kind of just quick thoughts here overall about the game?

Yeah, I mean, yeah, I really think this Harvard team was pretty bad.

There were stretches where they were turning the ball over on every possession.

And UNC didn't really take advantage in the first half.

At one point, Harvard took the lead.

And at one point, I think Harvard had 11 turnovers and UNC was only up by six.

And clearly North Carolina was the better team, more athletic, better players.

I thought they should have been up by more in the first half and should have kind of taken over more, which they eventually did in the second half.

I just don't think this team, this UNC team is that good.

And I don't know what it is.

You know, you think they have the parts with Luke May, Cameron Johnson,

Kenny Williams, and the two freshmen who were expected to come in and be big-time

contributors.

I just don't see this team really, I don't know, doing that much in the ACC, you know, the normal, they'll be there. They'll make the tournament and they'll win a game or two in the tournament. But I don't think this team has what it takes, you know, to go far. Maybe we're jumping too far ahead. Maybe we should just talk about the Harvard game. But I thought Little looked pretty good.
