Five games into the 2021-22 basketball season and North Carolina has proven it can score with anybody. The Tar Heels have also proven they can’t guard anybody up to this point. In UNC’s 89-72 loss in the Hall of Fame Tip-Off on Sunday, Tennessee shot a season-high 54% from the field. UNC ranks 296th in effective field goal percentage defense. (Inside Carolina)
