Tar Heels reclaim defensive identity after thumping Notre Dame


For four games, UNC's defense had slipped from its identity to anxiety-inducing, a talking point that lingered through three losses. But, on Wednesday, the No. 22 Tar Heels defended better, making it the backbone of a 91-69 win over Notre Dame that felt like a reset. Players said the shift was rooted in renewed emphasis on pride and communication. (Tar Heel Tribune)
