Posted Dec 2, 2021
In the second half, Hubert Davis dialed up a series of plays from North Carolina's Spain pick-and-roll action. UNC executed and pushed a 10-point lead to 15 in a span of 90 seconds. "Spain" pick-and-roll is a stack ball-screen formation that includes an off-ball back screen for the player who set the initial screen. It’s also nothing new around these parts. (ACC Sports Journal)
