Summary

North Carolina’s win on Saturday, 80-62 over USC Upstate, was not pretty. But several positives came from the messy outing, including improved three point shooting (10-23 overall) and Jonathan Powell’s performance eased some questions about bench play for Hubert Davis’s team heading deep into December. Greg Barnes and Tommy Ashley team up on the Inside Carolina Postgame to discuss the game and key takeaways from UNC’s ninth win on the season. **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.
