3s can free Tar Heels from defeat
Posted Nov 5, 2007
Roy Williams isn't sold on the idea that the 3-point arc on offense and defense will make or break this team. He said North Carolina, which allowed 50 percent field goal shooting or better in six losses last season, needs to get better in all aspects defensively. He said the Tar Heels won the 2005 national title because they "kicked everybody's tail inside 8 feet."
