Basketball coaches frequently utter clichés like “When you shoot terribly from the floor, it’s very difficult to win the game.” But North Carolina defeated Miami on Tuesday night despite shooting 45 percent from the field and 13 percent on three-pointers — and it wasn’t difficult, either. The Tar Heels brought tremendous energy to the defensive end of the court and smothered the Hurricanes 73-56. (Independent Weekly)
