7. North Carolina - The Tar Heels erupted to make 16 of 22 three-point attempts in a win over Western Carolina, the sixth time in their last eight games that they connected on at least 40% of their perimeter shots. As a team, they’re shooting 39.9% from three, but that doesn’t tell the full story. Theo Pinson has drastically cut down on his attempts after a rough start.
