Recap & Analysis: UNC 89 UAB 58

Posted Dec 27, 2014
As far as first games after a week break with little practice prior to it goes, this went fairly well. UNC was a little rusty offensively but really ratcheted up the defensive pressure to knock off UAB 89-58. The Tar Heels jumped out to a 15-2 lead early in the game fueled primarily by a healthy dose of Brice Johnson dunks and an acrobatic three point play from Justin Jackson. (Tar Heel Blog)
