Nova actually shot better in the 1st half, also over 50%. They shoot the ball well. They are not going anywhere.
Well, they probably have to shoot a little better to neutralize the rebounding edge, but they should get some of that back with TO margin. Still, the path for Nova to win if UNC shoots around 50 percent seems very narrow.

I don't think the refs have been bad. Just noting they are in the bonus. One and one could matter.

this game has had a couple of long stretches where nova's D threw a wrinkle at carolina and they went cold for an extended stretch. they can't afford another one of those from here on out. that's the difference

Too early for Nova to take the air out. They can be deliberate, but waiting 15 seconds to get in their offense makes them too easy to defend. They are shooting great. It's ok to take a good shot even if there's still time on the clock.

Nova can't compete on the defensive glass. Only thing keeping UNC in this game at all.

What a fucking hideously officiated game.
