Summary

The New Year was unkind to North Carolina Basketball as they opened conference play with a 1-1 split last week. While UNC has been statistically good defensively thus far this year, veteran guards this week exploited the Tar Heels in a major way. Sherrell McMillan and Sean Moran join Joey Powell to break down the truth while also keeping context at the forefront.
