Chansky’s Notebook: A Snowy Stratagem

Posted Jan 17, 2018
Dean Smith used to say a poorly played one-point win is the best scenario for motivating his team, and that’s what happened this time. The Tar Heels shot the ball well and had 23 assists, but rebounding after a season-low of 29 and 14 points in the paint will be the subjects of ol’ Roy’s next rant. Better hope classes are back on Thursday, or the Heels might practice all day. (Chapelboro.com)
