Record-Setting Barrage of Attempted Threes Proves Costly For Tar Heels
Pro-analytics or not, no calculation promotes taking a record-setting 38 3-point attempts and making 23.7 percent of them, which is what UNC did in its 78-70 loss to Georgia. "We had some pretty good looks,"
Michael Malone said. "We were just unable to knock them down. But it’s just being more disciplined with the game plan, and we’ll learn from it." (

What a Win Over Louisville Could Mean for Bill Belichick's UNC Football Program
With three games to play, earning bowl eligibility is the expectation. After hosting the Cardinals on Saturday, the Tar Heels visit Virginia before closing at home against NC State. Even if UNC loses to Louisville, the third-place team in the ACC, it should win at least one of its next two. A sixth win against the Cardinals, though, would mean a bit more. (
