UNC Men's Basketball Very Aware they Must Fix Free Throw Issues

Posted Feb 24, 2026
The final score was UNC 77, Louisville 74. The tally at the charity stripe for the Tar Heels was 19 free throw attempts with just 9 conversions. Carolina led by 16 with 13:38 remaining, but couldn't close out the Cards because the Tar Heels were just 7-for-15 from the line to end the game. "Make some free throws," Henri Veesaar said. "That will help." (TarHeel247)
