'Make it difficult': UNC men's basketball shuts down Devoe in 88-65 win over Georgia Tech

Posted Jan 16, 2022
So, what did UNC coach Hubert Davis’ team do to stop Michael Devoe? Simple: they smothered him. “With a guy like Devoe who’s just so dynamic with his scoring, you really just gotta make him uncomfortable,” Leaky Black said. “You gotta know that he’s gonna score every now and then, but you gotta make him work for it and make it difficult.” (Daily Tar Heel)
