Lucas: Rapid Reactions - UNC vs. Western Carolina

Posted Dec 6, 2017
Carolina was, as Roy Williams would say, "more gifted and talented" than Western Carolina, and it showed in a 104-61 victory. But there was a lot to like in the win other than the talent disparity, including an amazing 31 assists on 37 baskets (led by Theo Pinson with seven assists) and 16-for-22 from the three-point line. The Tar Heel starters got plenty of rest. (GoHeels.com)
