This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Not sure -this is the first time the D has imploded all year by Ccndbound

With the exception of the Syracuse game, our O has largely struggled this year. The D has carried us, but it has led to many close, low scoring games since the O hasn't produced as well as expected.

It is very alarming that we gave up 7 in a row in the 4th quarter (not sure why a TO wasn't used sometime during that run). UNC was running a lot of 2-man games up top with picks that worked well. It was similar to what Duke ran against us in the championship in 2010 that gave us fits (although Duke used a 3 man "weave" in the same spot on the field). Let's hope it was a 1 game fluke and not a trend - it will be very interesting to see how they play Friday night.

The face off penalty situation had a lot to do with the 4th quarter run as our FO guys were reluctant to get called again. We also 7-8 penalties, which is very uncharacteristic of this team.

I also think this would have been a different outcome if Finley's shot after a FO win in the midst of UNC's run had gone in instead of hitting the pipe. UNC went right back and scored off the rebound - a quick 2 goal swing.
