Tar Heels Welcome Adding More Press to Their Approach

Posted Feb 21, 2025
In total, the Tar Heels’ full-court press led directly to three of NC State’s first-half turnovers, which were converted into six points. Its impact culminated with 7:55 remaining in the first half as a Seth Trimble steal, thanks to another baseline corner trap leading to an Elliot Cadeau lay-in. The push by UNC brought the Smith Center crowd to its feet. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
