Arena #92: Maples Pavilion - Stanford vs. #9 North Carolina

The final stop of 6 games in 6 days in NorCal to once again see North Carolina play, this time on the road against the Stanford Cardinal.  For someone who isn't a fan of UNC, it's ridiculous to think this was the 7th game I've seen of theirs in the last year after a matchup at the University of Hawai'i, 3 at the 2016 Maui Jim Maui Invitational, and 2 more at the 2017 Final Four.  Sadly, I'm beginning to think I'm a good luck charm for good 'ol Roy and team as they won every one of those 6 previous games.

As for Maples Pavilion and this game, the matchup was not nearly as competitive as I hoped for as UNC blew out the Cardinal and Maples Pavilion was significantly less interesting and unique than I expected.
