TALLAHASSEE—As of right now in the first week of February, Florida State is a better defensive team than Carolina is an offensive team.
That's what we learned on Monday night in Tallahassee, as a barren second-half stretch and a rangy, athletic Seminole defense combined to give the 'Noles a 65-59 victory.
Recapping the grim span when Carolina missed 17 shots in a row tells the story of the game. Six different players missed shots. The Tar Heels missed midrange jumpers. They missed three-pointers. They missed shots right under the basket. They missed, as you are well aware, everything.
