'This is our game': How a 3-minute drill prepared UNC men's basketball for Clemson

Posted Jan 7, 2024
Every UNC basketball practice ends the same way: a three-minute game designed to simulate crunch-time situations. "That last five minutes, the under-four media timeout, we talk about 'This is our game,'" Tar Heel guard Paxson Wojcik said. "'Three-minute game. We win three minutes, we win the game.'" On Saturday that drill paid off in a big way. (Daily Tar Heel)
