Lucas: On The Line

Posted Jan 22, 2025
It felt certain UNC would get some points at the free throw line. The officiating crew whistled a combined 27 fouls in the first half. So even if the field goal shooting didn't come around, there would be opportunities to create offense at the line. But the Tar Heels took zero free throws in the second half. And that's how you lose a 67-66 game on the road. (GoHeels.com)
