UNC-Washington State halftime thoughts
— There were a total of 66 possessions in the first half, or 33 on each side. Dean Smith always looked at 100 for his team as a benchmark of offensive success, and Ol’ Roy has never deviated from that. So 33 in 20 minutes is a little off, but not too far. Blame it on Washington State’s slow-down offense.
— Tyler Hansbrough as looked average. He was called for traveling early on, the Cougars’ big men are doing a great job of coming down to double-team him and he’s generally been out of the flow of the game.
— Before the game, the UNC band played “Jump Around,” House of Pain’s seminal hit and the unofficial pre-game anthem at the Smith Center. Yes, Danny Green danced. Not quite as emphatically as at home, but it was hard to pick up the beat of the trombone.
