'Engaged' Effort Fuels UNC's Big Run

Posted Dec 6, 2018
North Carolina turned a competitive game into a blowout of UNCW with a 30-3 run over the span of 7:19 in the second half. Threes were falling for UNC, they scored in transition, drove to the basket, and spread the ball around. "We were more active,” coach Roy Williams said. “We sweated more. We had more effort. Our traps helped us a little bit too. We were better." (Inside Carolina)
