Tar Heels serious about improving
Posted Jan 18, 2012
The mood around the North Carolina basketball team has changed from light-hearted to serious this week. A 33-point loss will do that. “Usually, we’re laughing, having a good time,” senior Tyler Zeller said before practice Tuesday. “But everybody’s very quiet. I think (the loss) was something that was impactful for all of us, and hopefully we use it to drive us in the right direction.”
