RALEIGH, N.C -- Anyone who says North Carolina doesn't have considerable advantage playing a few miles away from its campus has no idea what they are talking about.I don't think I've ever seen more Tar Heel blue in my life.
With the exception of one section filled with Mount St. Mary's fans, the entire arena was awash in the colors of the Heels. It was quite a sight. Seeing it in TV doesn't even do it complete justice.
UNC pummeled the Mountaineers 113-76. Mount Saint Mary's hung in there for as long as it could but North Carolina had way too many athletes and size that proved too much for The Mount.
The Heels eventually wore Mount down completely and turned things up a notch in the second half after scoring 61 leading into the break.About the only thing that went wrong on the second half was Marcus Ginyard getting stuck on the rim as he tried a right-handed fastbreak stuff. Of course, in the grand scheme of things it didn’t mean a thing since the Mountaineers couldn’t match North Carolina;s firepower.

I think you meant "quite a sight." "Site" works, but not with what you're trying to say there.
Um,
You are correct. It was a long, long day (and night) and my eyes and brain were on fire. Thanks for pointing out my brain freeze.
