Richard Moore's campaign says that their final score was a joke.
Earlier, Dome wondered about the unusually low score — 52 to 46 — that he submitted in his Final Four bracket.
Deputy campaign manager Julie White told Dome that the numbers were a play on the percentages that they hope to win by in the May 6 primary.
"The press corp is usually very witty with a high level of sophistication in their humor. I cannot believe everyone is missing the humor in the score," she writes.
Scores in the 70s would be more likely these days, although that would not have been unusual before the advent of the shot clock. As noted previously, before that, UNC would often use a "Four Corners" strategy to hold the ball until time ran out.
Another missed joke: Moore's been accusing Beverly Perdue of doing the same thing with debates.
