ALLEN PLAYS BIG, COMES UP SHORT IN UNC WIN
Borrowing a page from his 1998 film "He Got Game", UConn's Ray Allen brought late-game heroics to his team's game against UNC with 8 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 assists, still falling short in a hard-fought 13-15 loss Tuesday. UNC's Rasheed Wallace had 8 points and 7 rebounds in the win. Rudy Gay dazzled the crowd with two dunks, but blamed poor team selection for the loss. "If we'd had the best team out there, we would'a had this. If [Richard Hamilton] or [Emeka Okafor] had been on this team, it would've been a different story. Whoever made these teams messed that [expletive] up. Wallace couldn't be stopped in the paint." Teammates Ray Allen and Ben Gorden could not be reached for comment after the game. UNC plays Wake Forest on Thursday in a familiar ACC match-up.
