Tar Heels Learning to Finish

Posted Jan 13, 2021
With 2020 in the rearview mirror, UNC has rediscovered its winning ways. For the third time in as many games this month, the Tar Heels overcame a deficit in the final minutes Tuesday, this time in handing Syracuse an 81-75 defeat. “We’ve talked all season about finishing games with our brain and our heart both and I think we did that,” Roy Williams said.
