Tar Heels Creating Havoc on Defense

Posted Dec 31, 2013
North Carolina turned up the heat in the second half Tuesday night, unleashing high-intensity halfcourt traps and fullcourt presses in its 84-51 victory over UNC Wilmington. “We were much better in the second half,” UNC coach Roy Williams said. “In the first half, our scrambles were good for them. Our double teams weren’t very good. We didn’t get a goaltender, and they made the pass to the post-up area and got good shots out of it." (Inside Carolina)
