This Will Somehow Be Blamed on Sendek

The formerly unthinkable Amato job watch has officially begun. I always thought Amato's early success was very specifically Rivers-dependent, but I root for the other side - that's how I'm supposed to think.

From what little I can divine from ESPN's lousy play-by-play, the game looked ugly on both sides, but UNC figured out how to run and the Wolfpack oddly enough didn't seem to attempt a ground game. Was it a better game than the stats make out?
