"The very first play of the game, we talked about for two days what we wanted to run, and we don't run it," Rick Barnes said. "... We're not playing with a purpose on the offensive end. Really, they don't need help. At the start of the game, we gave them plenty of help to get out in the open court. It really fuels what they do."
J'Covan Brown was one of three players with 16 points for Texas, which shot 35 percent. The Tar Heels had more offensive rebounds (22) than the Longhorns had on the defensive end (17), a stat noted by Rick Barnes afterward as "a major problem."
The Longhorns had won seven straight and were holding teams to an average of 54 points and 33 percent shooting during that stretch. They had also outrebounded opponents by nearly 17 per game in the past four before falling flat Wednesday night.
"We just have to play harder," said freshman Myck Kabongo, who had just one point and played only 15 minutes. "The only thing I can take from this is that we've got to play harder."
