Kendall Marshall: We didn't know how to close games
Posted Feb 15, 2012
I don’t think Kendall Marshall is saying that the Tar Heels have never practiced late-game situations or run plays to get baskets late in the game. Every team does it. It seems more along the lines of executing down the stretch, having the mental toughness to turn a close game into a comfortable lead late in games. Not letting lesser teams back into games – things that championship teams do on a regular basis.
