Time can't save UNC's perimeter defense

Posted Jan 27, 2018
The Tar Heels rank fourth in the ACC in three-point attempts and makes this season, but in the past three games, they’ve shot 19-for-71 (26.8%) from deep. The more pressing issue comes on defense. UNC has allowed at least 10 threes in 15 of 22 games this season. After Saturday’s loss, they rank 14th in the ACC in three-point percentage defense and last in threes allowed. (Argyle Report)
