Tar Heels get defensive with Miami

Posted Jan 11, 2012
Yeah, North Carolina can play defense. Granted, Miami was at times sloppy with the ball and attempted too many ill-advised shots Tuesday night, but the Tar Heels were plenty stingy in defeating the Canes 73-56. Good thing UNC buckled down on defense, because its offense was on planet zorto. Carolina went through stretches where it couldn't hit the broad side of a barn no matter how open the Heels were.
