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 Sinata 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 that 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. It 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 four and a 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. Joe Barry, kind of came on 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. if you're a traditionalist, if you like old Carolina basketball inside out, that was a shock to you.

I know Rel is a old school guy and likes the interior play. But it was something to watch.

It was a unique game. Well, Rel, talking about that, what were your thoughts on seeing Carolina

shoot so many threes against Clemson? It's still weird. I know this is the new norm, at least for the majority of the rest of this season, but it's still just, it's still just kind of odd. We've talked about it a few times. I've seen different people start to write about it, but we truly are in Bizarro world when, you know, Duke thrives on two guys in the paint, super athletic guys in the paint, scoring at will, and North Carolina

thrives when they have, you know, five, four or five shooters on the court. So it's, it's very new,

it's very different. But I think in switching kind of to another topic, people always talk about
