UNC Game Stats

UNC Bright Spots

Coby White had 17 points, 3 assists, and 3 rebounds.

Cameron Johnson had 16 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists.

Garrison Brooks had 12 points, 8 rebounds, and 3 assists.

Needs Work

The Tar Heels need to work on their perimeter defense and guard the dribble penetration better. They need to attck the basket and not settle for jump shots.

Final Observations

This was a tough loss for the Tar Heels. The injury bug has caused three ankle injuries in the last week. UNC had their opportunities to close the deal but got several tough calls to go against them to slow their momentum. North Carolina must regroup and move forward to their next game against Wake Forest. The Tar Heels have to get healthy so that they can finish strong.
