UNC's Execution Against the Zone

Posted Feb 1, 2017
No zone defense is exactly the same, and UNC has yet to combat the scheme consistently. In the Tar Heels’ 80-78 win over Pittsburgh on Tuesday, it was the Panthers’ 3-2 zone, with 6-foot-7 wing Jamel Artis at the top of the key, that caused trouble for UNC early. Pitt’s length, with all five of their starters standing 6-foot-6 or taller, proved to be a challenge. (Inside Carolina)
