A look at how UNC solved Syracuse's zone

Posted Jan 27, 2015
The Orange is weaker than normal this season because of early NBA draft entries and season-ending injuries, but that didn't detract from North Carolina's satisfaction over finally solving Syracuse's famous 2-3 zone. The Tar Heels committed turnovers on 17 of their first 52 possessions Monday and still won 93-83 thanks to their 55.4-percent shooting from the field. They shot 62.1 percent during a 58-point second half. (Fayetteville Observer)
