Let's be honest. R.J. Davis has not had the kind of start North Carolina basketball fans were hoping for through the first 11 games.

Justin Jackson: A Tale of Two Halves

UNC’s 90-84 loss to Florida in the Jumpman Invitational was a tale of two halves. The first half there was lackadaisical defense, both execution and not being more physical. But the way they played the second half, not many opponents want to face that team. If the Tar Heels play the first half even close to how they played the second, they win this game.

UNC Basketball Struggling Without Productive Post Presence

If you’re a long-time North Carolina basketball fan, and you can’t remember the last time the Tar Heels lacked a highly productive post presence, a faulty memory is not the culprit.
