Lucas: Wisconsin Rapid Reactions

By Adam Lucas

1. Fittingly, an abysmal first half brought Carolina's season to an end against Wisconsin in the NCAA Tournament with an 85-62 defeat. The game tied for the second-worst NCAA Tournament loss in Tar Heel history and was the worst loss ever on the opening weekend of the event.

2. Too many times this season, Carolina came out uninspired in the first half and dug a hole from which it couldn't recover. It happened again on Friday night, as the Tar Heels were outplayed in every possible way by Wisconsin on the way to a 40-24 deficit at the break.
