Tar Heels lack toughness in loss to Virginia

Posted Jan 7, 2013
Gauging how a team sets picks on offense and works through them on defense is a realistic method in determining just how tough and focused a club is on a given night. In using that as a barometer in North Carolina's performance at Virginia on Sunday, the easy conclusion is that the Tar Heels didn't show nearly enough toughness as the Cavaliers, and that's why UNC lost 61-52.
