UNC must play from tipoff to move past Butler

Posted Mar 24, 2017
The key for UNC is sticking to its own game and not letting Butler dictate what the Tar Heels want to do. Sure, that's literally always the case. But the Bulldogs' discipline and defensive game will disrupt the offense faster and earlier on in plays if Roy's boys aren't equally as sharp and attentive. "We have to get up and down the floor like we want," Joel Berry said. (WRAL Sports Fan)
