Lucas: Rapid Reactions - UNC vs. Alabama

Posted Dec 4, 2024
Just a complete win for Alabama, as they perfectly executed their gameplan on the way to a 94-79 win at the Smith Center. The Tar Heels have now led for just 11:13 of the last 165 minutes they have played. Size was again a problem, as Alabama sent waves of long, athletic bodies at UNC. The bright spot offensively was Ian Jackson, who scored 23 points. (GoHeels.com)
