UNC Heeds Hubert Davis' Mantra, Shuts Down Michigan Inside

Posted Dec 2, 2021
Point of emphasis number one for UNC entering its battle vs. Michigan on Wednesday was to shut down the Wolverines’ interior game. In particular, UNC’s focus was on neutralizing 7-foot center and preseason All-America Hunter Dickinson. The Tar Heels did that, and then some, in its 72-51 thumping of the Wolverines in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
