Kenny Williams' 'Relentless' Defense Stifles Battle, Syracuse

Posted Mar 8, 2018
Syracuse's Tyus Battle is the head of the snake and on Wednesday Kenny Williams cut it off. Matched against the Orange star for most of the game, the UNC junior held Battle to 4-for-21 shooting and 15 points. Battle was 1-for-11 in the second half and 2-for-8 from three. "He had a lot of points up at Syracuse. I did take that one a little personal," Williams said. (Inside Carolina)
