UNC Basketball Takes Step Forward Defensively

Posted Nov 24, 2021
Not only did UNC hold Asheville to 26.5 percent shooting, but it also gave up just 53 points and didn’t allow a single fast break point, after allowing 16.7 fast break points per game over the last three. While there still were lapses on defense, the Tar Heels took a step into the right direction. It’s not going to fix itself overnight, but Tuesday saw some progress. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
