It's vintage Carolina with a twist, as zone defense helps offense excel

Posted Jan 21, 2015
After Wake Forest's Dinos Mitoglou made an open 3-pointer with six and a half minutes remaining in North Carolina's visit to Joel Coliseum, UNC coach Roy Williams walked toward his bench and waved his arms. "No more," he declared. By that point, a 2-3 zone had served its purpose against the Demon Deacons in an 87-71 loss to the 15th-ranked Tar Heels on Wednesday night. (Fayetteville Observer)
