Lucas: A Bad Feeling

Posted Nov 29, 2018
How bad was it? The Tar Heel defense had so little impact that Michigan shot better when North Carolina was guarding them (50 percent from the three-point line and 20-of-32 on two-point shots) than they did when there was no defense at all (11-of-23 free throws). Loose balls went unchased. Shots were not contested. The Wolverines basically did whatever they wanted. (GoHeels.com)
