Tar Heels get third crack at Hurricanes

Posted Mar 17, 2013
Miami has interior size and a tall "stretch-4" capable of hitting 3-pointers. In the two losses against the Hurricanes, UNC struggled to defend ball screens that involved Shane Larkin, the quick point guard, and Kenny Kadji, the 6-11 forward who totaled 35 points on 13-for-21 shooting from the field. Larkin's penetration also created open looks for wings Durand Scott and Trey McKinney Jones. (Fayetteville Observer)
