I'm not so sure their pace of play is any different than ours really.  I think its just a statistical fluke of early season matchups.  In the Florida State game there were numerous live ball turnovers and deep rebounds where UNC was able to run and put up shots in a few seconds, they didn't really run offense frequently.  When they did run offense Florida State played poor defense and allowed a good shot early.  Kansas and Texas both took us deep into the shot clock with good defense.  Karaban hit tough shots at the end of shot clocks, as did Newton, Diarra, and Ball.   We aren't shooting at the end of shot clocks by design.  With UNC, TN & Arkansas also push the pace, and Nova wanted the game up and down.  I think we'd kill them in an up and down game if we were healthy.  Not having healthy players in this game is the key, both defensively with quickness of feet, and offensively with lift and a bad finger.  I really want this game.
