The Other Side of the Coin
Posted Feb 28, 2009
Saturday’s loss is only the latest chapter in a recent struggle for the offense in late-game situations. It was easy for fans and the media to focus on the offensive explosions by Boston College’s Tyrese Rice (25 points) and Wake Forest’s Jeff Teague (34 points) in North Carolina’s early ACC losses, but Williams has consistently pointed to his team’s inability to score down the stretch in those contests as the determining factor.
