Lucas: Rapid Reactions - UNC vs. UConn
Posted Dec 5, 2023
Connecticut is one of the best teams in the country, and UNC simply didn't play at that level in an 87-76 UConn win. It's difficult to make a comeback against a team as good as UConn, and it's almost impossible when you're not combining defensive stops with offensive scores. The Tar Heels would've had to play an almost flawless offensive game to compete.
