It's defense that wins big games, even at the Final Four
Posted Apr 3, 2016
UNC scored 83 points against Syracuse but it was the 28 points the Tar Heels allowed in the first half that set the tone for their path to Monday night's championship game. As long as they keep playing basketball, it will always be defense that wins games, especially the big ones. UNC has another game to play because they made it tough on Syracuse's perimeter players.
