Tar Heels Piling up Floor Burns

Posted Nov 13, 2016
With six minutes left to play, Joel Berry swiped the ball away from SoCon preseason player of the year Tre’ McLean and dove onto the hardwood for the loose ball and floor burn. It didn’t matter that his Tar Heels were leading by 30 points. Berry would later tell reporters he doesn’t care about the scoreboard. He’s just trying to set a precedent. (Inside Carolina)
