Sports Illustrated College Basketball Power Rankings: #2 UNC

Posted Jan 28, 2016
Three weeks ago, I mentioned the wild stat that Tar Heels forward Brice Johnson was shooting 94.6% “at the rim” this season—meaning shots that are logged in game records as layups or dunk attempts. Johnson is still shooting a ridiculous 93.2% at the rim, but what about his percentage on all short-range attempts, not just layups and dunks? (Sports Illustrated)
