UNC coach Hubert Davis channeled Dean Smith on Saturday in Atlanta. Following the ninth-ranked Tar Heels’ 87-83 loss to Kentucky, Davis mentioned how his former coach approached mistakes. UNC had a crowd of them against the Wildcats, who were better at taking care of the ball, snagging the ball off the glass and scooping the ball out of a scrum. (Fayetteville Observer)
