Lucas: Basketball Practice Notebook

By Adam Lucas

It took a shootoff to decide the winner in a Thursday drill that featured the Tar Heel perimeter players competing to see how many three-pointers in a row they could make from the top of the key. Andrew Platek and Kerwin Walton each swished seven in a row. Walton narrowly won the shootoff.
