Chansky’s Notebook: Cardinal Sin

Posted Dec 31, 2020
Garrison Brooks said the Tar Heels just don’t have it so far this season. After North Carolina's 72-67 loss at Georgia Tech, which all things considered is probably the worst of four defeats to date, Brooks said the team doesn’t have enough “want to” on defense. That is a cardinal sin of Carolina basketball, which was built over the years on effort and defense. (Chapelboro.com)
