Ahead of Duke, UNC's Joel Berry turns to Virginia film to fix defense

Posted Feb 5, 2018
"Virginia is one of the best defensive teams in the nation," Joel Berry said after the Tar Heels beat Pitt 96-56. "I watched their game against Clemson. I recorded a couple of their plays on my phone and put them in our group chat and told (the guys), 'This is how we have to play the screen on ball and this is how our defense has to be.' "I think guys took that onto the court." (WRAL Sports Fan)
