State of denial? UNC hopes to do a better job cutting off NCSU passes
Posted Feb 21, 2007
UNC's desire to increase the pace of play is no secret, but the Tar Heels can do that in ways aside from rushing the ball down the court when they're on offense. Might UNC press and trap more this time against N.C. State, forcing the ball out of Atsur's hands and taking the Wolfpack out of its comfort zone? "We could," said sophomore Tyler Hansbrough, who leads UNC in scoring and rebounding.
