'Great' Practices Aren't Translating Into UNC's Games

Posted Feb 9, 2023
The Tar Heels had two of their best practices of the season Sunday and Monday. Two great practices led to one horrible performance, in which UNC trailed by 22 points at halftime, by as many as 26, and by 24 with less than 15 minutes remaining. "Yeah, I don't know, that's what I don't get," UNC's Armando Bacot said following the loss at Joel Coliseum. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
