Summary

Inside Carolina analyst Rob Harrington and Tommy Ashley break down North Carolina's blow out loss to NC State in Raleigh, 82-58. With a depleted frontcourt roster, UNC's only hope against the 'Pack was a solid effort and good shooting nice from the guards - and that did not happen. Carolina shot 15% from three and 32% overall while Zayden High and Jarin Stevenson were the only two Heels in double figures. State's Quadir Copeland finished with 20 points, six rebounds, seven assists. **Call to Action:** **Subscribe:** Follow 'Inside Carolina' wherever you get your podcasts to never miss an episode! **Review:** Leave us a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify to help us reach more Tar Heel fans! **Visit:** Explore http://www.InsideCarolina.com for breaking news, recruiting updates, and expert commentary on all things UNC sports.
