Summary

North Carolina’s size disadvantage against the visiting SMU Mustangs was proven null and void early and often as the Tar Heels locked up the visitors on the defensive end for most of the night and flashed enough on the offensive end to cruise to the 82-67 win in the Smith Center. The trio of RJ Davis, Ian Jackson and Drake Powell combined for 61 points while the total team effort held SMU to just 33 percent shooting on the defensive end. The Inside Carolina crew of Dewey Burke and host Tommy Ashley break down the positive vibes the win has created for Hubert Davis’s team and what lies ahead in Raleigh this Saturday afternoon.

1:18.6	tommy and i thought that uh right from the jump our effort level and attentiveness on defense was
1:24.2	outstanding and one of the things that this team has not demonstrated
1:28.9	consistently this year is the point that I'm about to make, which is when you give excellent
1:34.5	effort, it covers up for mistakes. And look, we still missed rotations. We still missed closeouts,
1:39.8	missed boxouts, and gave up some easy baskets and maybe didn't guard as well the last 10 minutes of
1:46.4	the game. But for the first 30, we were really good. And to me, it was all effort. I mean,
1:51.5	these guys were a step quicker. They were more connected defensively. For me, it all started
1:56.9	on that end. Obviously, we shot the ball well. Drake shot it great in the first half,
2:01.0	and RJ had a good night. You look down and you see 11 for 22 from 3, and you're happy with that.
