Lucas: Building Identity

Posted Nov 26, 2011
It's the first of three straight games in seven days against 2011 NCAA Tournament teams, with two of them played on the road. In March, defense often wins--even that potent '09 Carolina team was keyed by Ty Lawson's steals in the championship game victory over Michigan State. Friday night, the Tar Heels showed the ability to play that caliber of defense for brief bursts. For the next week, they'll have to sustain it. (Tar Heel Blue)
