North Carolina coach Williams gives credit to UNLV's defense
Posted Nov 27, 2011
Roy Williams' team was outworked, couldn't make free throws and failed to guard the Rebels on the perimeter or inside despite having a considerable height advantage. "Their defense was really aggressive," Williams said of the Rebels (7-0). "We needed to be stronger with the basketball." Worst of all for Carolina, its stars failed to show up, particularly point guard Kendall Marshall and center Tyler Zeller.
