Ian Jackson leads fun show of UNC’s talent in blowout of Johnson C. Smith

Posted Oct 27, 2024
This deep, talented UNC men's basketball team will be fun to watch. Against an overmatched Division II team, the No. 9 Tar Heels put on a show for the fans and a clinic in transition basketball, defensive pressure, and the pick-and-roll game. After Johnson C. Smith stayed with UNC for 11 minutes, Carolina rolled to a 127-63 exhibition victory Sunday. (Tar Heel Tribune)
