In loss to Iowa, UNC basketball's second-half resurgence shows this year's team has grit

Posted Dec 9, 2020
UNC has one more non-conference game against Ohio State before opening ACC play against N.C. State on Dec. 22. After last season's disappointment, this team has the look of something different, even after Tuesday's loss. "This team competes," R.J. Davis said. "We showed a lot of grit, and if we show that for 40 minutes, I think we can be great." (Daily Tar Heel)
