Kennedy Meeks responds to coach's challenge in UNC's win over Northern Iowa

Posted Dec 21, 2016
Kennedy Meeks 2.0 dominated at both ends of the court, but particularly at the defensive end. Northern Iowa didn’t stand a chance. The stark difference was evident in the way the Panthers abandoned all hope of crashing the offensive boards, choosing instead to race back after launching a shot in a futile effort to halt the ensuing Tar Heels fast break.
