UNC-Washington State postgame thoughts/notes
That was a workmanlilke game from the Tar Heels, who advance to Saturday’s Elite Eight game (which, as of right now, has not been given an official air time (it will either be 6:30 or 9 p.m., if you trust the TV listings).
The 47 points Washington State scored were the least UNC has allowed in an NCAA Tournament game since Oklahoma A&M defeated the Tar Heels, 43-40, in the 1946 championship game. Suffice to say, that was before the advent of the shot clock.
A few notes, coming from the fine folks at UNC’s Sports Information Department.
— UNC has won eight straight Sweet 16 games, dating back to 1993.
— Tyler Hansbrough is now the highest scoring junior in ACC history. Dennis Scott, of Georgia Tech, previously held the record.
— For the 37th time this season, or every game UNC has played, Hansbrough scored in double figures. That’s a UNC record, previously held by Eric Montross (1993) and Antawn Jamison (1998).
— UNC is now 21-0 in games played away from the Smith Center.
