Michael Malone blames loss on ‘bad habits,’ lack of ‘game plan discipline’

Posted Nov 13, 2026
While UNC shot just 23.7% on a school-record 38 3-point attempts, Georgia hit 14 3s in a 78-70 win Friday after trailing by nine with 10 1/2 minutes left. "At the end of close games, your habits come out. Do you have good habits? We didn’t have attention to detail. We didn’t have game plan discipline. We didn’t have personnel discipline tonight." (Tar Heel Tribune)
