Analyzing UNC's Turnover Issues

Posted Mar 2, 2021
North Carolina has played 24 games, yet nine times the Tar Heels have turned over the basketball at least 18 times. In 11 games, UNC's miscues have led to 18 or more points for their opponents. That’s nearly half the time. "Coach Smith used to say, 'Every turnover’s carelessness or selfishness,' and ours is split about 50/50," coach Roy Williams said. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
