Are the Tar Heels soft?

Posted Feb 9, 2022
North Carolina has heard the criticism and read the comments. "The team is soft." But is it true? It’s tough to measure toughness or a lack thereof, so we looked at play in the paint. UNC has attempted 68 dunks this season, making 60. They’ve also have a .638 shooting percentage on "short" shots, meaning dunks and layups. That ranks eighth in the ACC. (North State Journal)
