Lucas: UNC Asheville Rapid Reactions

By Adam Lucas

1. Carolina got what it needed--a win--against UNC Asheville. The Tar Heels prevailed, 72-53, and now will enter a very important week of practice leading into the Michigan game (tickets are available). Remember, you're not going to see a dramatic change after one day of practice.

2. Carolina's defense, or lack thereof, was deservedly a big topic after the two losses this weekend. The Tar Heels weren't perfect in that category, but they were much better. UNC Asheville made just 26.5% of its shots and only 18.
