UNC's Norkeithus Otis expects an improved defense

Posted Jul 21, 2014
North Carolina turned a corner after losing a close game to Miami last season and won six of its last seven games. The defense gave up an average of 19.1 points in those seven games, an improvement on its 30.7 average over its first six games. That’s a major reason Norkeithus Otis expects the Tar Heels defense won’t need half of the season to unite this fall. (Greensboro News & Record)
