North Carolina was the pre-season and current #1 ranked team in the nation, up until last night when they fell short to UNLV, an unranked opponent. UNLV came out intense from the beginning, led by Chace Stanback who poured in 28 points. From beginning to end, the Running Rebels were aggressive, penetrating the UNC defense and often kicking out for threes. Henson, Barnes and Zeller shot a cold 11-34 from the field which is a huge part of their firing power. Needless to say, the win shocked the college basketball world, everyone except the Rebels head coach Dave Rice, who's eyes are more set on creating a consistent winning culture in the program rather than defining themselves off of that one great win. That was his tone after the game but he did say that it was a great win for the program. Carolina better do some serious self checking seeing that they have Wisconsin and Kentucky this upcoming week.
