The Primary Break: UNC-Syracuse Quick Takes

Posted Jan 16, 2017
Some quick insights from Roy Williams’ 800th win—an 85-68 victory over Syracuse. Three of Theo Pinson’s five assists were for layups and dunks. He also had a pass that led directly to free throws. Justin Jackson made only 2-of-8 3s against the Syracuse zone. He’s now shooting just 16.7% on 18 3-point attempts against opposing zones this year. (The Secondary Break)
