Interesting statistics from the 2016-17 UNC Basketball season

The 2016-2017 national champions made everybody notice them not only because of how good they were, but also because they were slightly unorthodox compared to many of their peers at the top of college basketball. While most of the top teams in college basketball were very good from behind the arc, the Heels shot at the relatively average rate of 35.5%. Additionally, their proportion of three-point shots taken was much lower than that of most of their peers; UNC was first in the nation in two-point shots attempted. But these are the kinds of statistics that most would expect from a Roy Williams-coached team.
