Spenser Dalton: Thoughts on UNC vs. Tennessee

Posted Dec 17, 2017
What a gritty win for the Tar Heels. Aside from the loss to Michigan State, this was the first game for the Heels that required them to really dig deep. This was a great show of toughness for a team that hasn’t really found its identity, but with the road win tonight that identity is starting to take shape. Tennessee’s pressure gave the Tar Heels some trouble. (Thoughts From a Walk-On)
