Ask A Blogger: UNC In The NCAAs

Posted Mar 18, 2011
Unlike UNC teams of the past, this group has found its identity as a defensive team. Not that past Roy Williams coached teams were inept on defense, in fact the 2005 and 2007 teams were both top ten in defensive efficiency the same as the 2011 version. The common thread, especially between 2007 and 2011 is the presence of a long shot blocker in the post. (ACC Sports Journal)
