Lucas: Tar Heels Get Defensive
Posted Apr 20, 2009

They have not--even when it's been justified--been known for defense. That might be changing. The Tar Heels swept Miami this weekend, winning the series against the powerful Hurricanes for the fourth straight season; Carolina has beaten Miami nine times out of the last ten meetings.
