Cold-shooting Tar Heels try to avoid getting zoned out

Posted Feb 23, 2011
North Carolina point guard Kendall Marshall echoes the sentiments of most offensive-minded players when it comes to facing a zone defense. “Obviously we prefer to play against (a man-to-man),” Marshall said. If recent outings are any indication, the No. 19 Tar Heels (20-6 overall, 10-2 ACC) might have to get used to it. The Tar Heels face North Carolina State (14-12, 4-8) tonight.
