UNC Bright Spots

Kenny Williams has been playing well on both ends of the floor with 19 points, 9 rebounds, and 2 steals.

Needs Work
The Tar Heels had too many passes deflected. They can be sharper moving the ball on offense.
Final Observations
UNC moves the ball well and is unselfish on offense. The defense seems to be ahead of schedule. Luke Maye and Kenny Williams have improved dramatically to take pressure off of Joel Berry in the scoring department.
