I can’t tell which Texas player tried to slide under North Carolina’s P.J. Hairston to take a charge, but that’s probably for the best. The poor kid didn’t know what he was getting himself in to as Hairston was driving towards the hoop with authority. As Hairston took flight, his foe stood motionless under the basket, feebly hoping to draw some kind of foul.

It just didn’t work at all. Hairston got his -- flushing the dunk with authority -- and the poor Longhorn ended up on the ground, looking up and wondering what in the world just happened. The force of the impact sent the young man sliding across the floor, all while Hairston postured and looked generally pleased with his handywork.
At the half, North Carolina lead Texas, 39-23. The first 20 minutes featured plenty of dunks and a whole lot of fun basketball. In other words, tune in!
