| Postgame - |
| Stick a fork in it as the North Carolina Tarheels defeat the Pennsylvania Quakers 86-71. For Penn, Bernardini led all scorers with 26 points on 9-of-18 shooting. For North Carolina, six players scored in double figures as Thompson led with 17 points. North Carolina played very methodically as they coasted across the second half while Penn played quite respectfully in their first game of the season. |
| 2nd half - 3:43 |
| Penn is starting to find their long range shot again as they are trailing North Carolina by 10 points as we come to a TV Timeout. Part of the comeback might be a lull on the part of the Tar Heels. However, give the coaching staff credit for letting the team figure out how to play themselves out of their funk. |
| 2nd half - 7:52 |
| North Carolina continues to cruise as they hold a 17-point lead. Even with the lead, you can tell that Roy Williams' stamp is on the team as each player continues to look for the extra pass to score. In addition, four players are in double-digit points with Davis and Lawson on the verge of making it six players. |
| 2nd half - 11:06 |
| As we reach the halfway point of the second half, and North Carolina with a 17-point lead, there is definitely a strategy to the Tar Heels method. In essense, they have forced Penn into a perimeter shooting method as 26 of their 49 shots have been from the 3-point line. |
| 2nd half - 15:48 |
| Both teams come out shooting pretty well as the second half gets underway. North Carolina was able to build their lead to as high as 20 points but Penn has worked the deficit back down to 16 points. This is a rough way to start the season for Penn as they have been picked to finish second in the Ivy League and face the no. 1 team in the country. But, to their credit, they are continunig to play pretty hard. |
