Tar Heels Playing With Fire At Free Throw Line

Posted Feb 25, 2026
When asked what the Tar Heels can do to close out games better, Henri Veesaar laughed and said, "Make some free throws. That would help." The Tar Heels shot 7-for-13 from the line in Monday’s second half, and finished the game 9-of-19, their worst outing of the season. It’s no secret, free-throw shooting has been a persistent problem for the Tar Heels. (Inside Carolina)
