Welcome to another podcast by Inside Carolina.com, the independent voice of UNC Sports,

your home for Tar Heel football, basketball, and recruiting.

Welcome to the Inside Carolina podcast. I'm John Siegley. Today I'm joined by Shirel McMillan and Brian Ives from ESPN, stats and

info. Guys want to say thank y'all for joining us today. And what we wanted to do is to talk some

stats. This is, you know, our semi-regular basketball statistical podcast. And Brian, I wanted to

start this one off talking about UNCC's three-point shooting.

It's been a hot topic discussion on the message boards and just among UNC fans in general.

I think this last game, there was a record broke with, was it three points attempts or three

points made? I don't have it in front of me, but I just remember

there was something significant. Yeah. I think UNC Sinada released, and I believe it's correct,

that this is the first time under Roy Williams that North Carolina attempted more threes than two

pointers. I bet you that made Roy cringe and could probably hardly sleep at night

with that number. But as you could see, Carolina needed them and they were hitting them, thank

goodness. I think they were 15 or 31. That's one shy of the most three have attempted in any game

on the Roy. They attempted 32 back in 2012 against Mississippi State.

But for better or worse, that's what Carolina is going to have to do this year. We know they're

not going to get much production from the big men. That doesn't mean they can't get production

in the paint, but they're not going to get much production from the big men. So, you know,

a lot of their scores have to come from threes. And a lot of it, I think, if they're hot or not, I mean, we saw Kenny was hot in the

first half. Cam Johnson was hot, particularly in the second half. Joel Berry kind of came on

in the second half. So I think it's a how they feel type thing. But man, if you're a traditionalist, if you like old Carolina basketball inside out, that was a shock for you.

I know Rel is a old school guy and likes the interior play.
