Message: [QUOTE="FanInNC, post: 4868471, member: 13050"] Was a great atmosphere, just got home. State came out a little too amped I thought and took some quick, forced shots. Settled in and played well but then Carolina threw some zone in and it gave the Pack some issues. Had a poor stretch with a couple turnovers and poor shot attempts that let Carolina claw back from a 9 point deficit and actually take a 3 point lead. But cooler heads prevailed and the Pack answered quickly and was able to get stops down the stretch to claim victory. The offense struggled at times, the final 5 minutes were ugly on offense. But good win nonetheless. Zoe Brooks was a spark off the bench, Rivers was instrumental. Baldwin clearly isn’t 100%. A night where the Pack didn’t shoot it well, they found a way. Always fun to beat the baby blues. As far as their coach’s comments, I mean I think her and Wes both play into each others fanbases to draw interest in the game. UNC-CH’s gym is roughly the same size as Reynolds so it’s an odd critique. They don’t average the same attendance either. And Duke is more relevant in men’s basketball but she apparently hasn’t paid attention the last 5 years in the women’s game if she holds that belief. Ultimately all of that is just fodder for headlines to spark emotion and interest. Which is great for the game IMO. I think her and Wes both lean into the rivalry and troll jobs. Makes it fun.
