Posted Feb 12, 2019
Monday night, the North Carolina men’s basketball team was just the latest victim of Virginia’s packline defense, as the Cavaliers held the Tar Heels to just 35 percent shooting from the field and 30 percent from the three-point line in UNC’s 69-61 loss. “You've got to be locked in every possession. And if you don't, then it'll be a long night for you.” Kenny Williams said. (Argyle Report)
