UNC Heeds Hubert Davis' Mantra, Shuts Down Michigan Inside

Posted Dec 2, 2021

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)
