Late-starting Heels rediscover intensity in second half

Posted Mar 18, 2016
The Tar Heels have to hope they don’t start late again Saturday against Providence. But the game will definitely start late, at about 9:40 p.m. on TBS. “It was a little quiet, and coach came in,” said Joel Berry II, who was 1 of 7 from 3-point range but still finished with 14 points. “He didn’t yell at us a lot, he was just saying that we had to pick up our intensity."
