#4 NORTH CAROLINA 91, #8 GEORGIA TECH 69
Bremerton's Marvin Williams scored 14 points and grabbed 6 rebounds in 23 minutes of action as North Carolina rolls over Georgia Tech in Chapel Hill 91-69.
The Tar Heels' bench outscored the Yellow Jackets 36-11, led by Williams' 14 points. In the first half alone, North Carolina's bench players scored 21 points compared to zero bench points by Georgia Tech. This was the story of the game. While Georgia Tech was without B.J. Elder, they are still a talented bunch with Jarrett Jack, Will Bynum, and Luke Schenscher. But while the Yellow Jackets are a solid team themselves, ranked in the Top 10, North Carolina may just be the most talented team in the country. And on a night like tonight, it wasn't just the Tar Heels starters who showed up. There's a reason why they're a Top 5 team.
North Carolina is on the road Saturday afternoon in Winston-Salem to take on Wake Forest in what should be a huge test for both teams. The game is on ABC, but I won't be able to see it (thanks a lot, Jefferson Pilot!). I'm not sure what the ABC schedule will be like up in the Seattle area, so I won't speculate on that here.
Go Tar Heels.
Go Huskies.
Go Zags.
Hooray for college basketball!
