Minimizing FSU's Drives Part Of UNC's Second-Half Surge

Posted Feb 28, 2021
Florida State shredded North Carolina’s defense in the first half on Saturday afternoon at the Smith Center. The Seminoles drove right at the Tar Heels and got a bevy of quality looks at the basket near the rim, so many that at times the Tar Heels looked almost helpless trying to impede FSU’s drives. In the second half, however, that dramatically changed. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
