The North Carolina Tar Heel defense is allowing opponents to shoot 38.4% from three-point land this season, a mark that ranks 300th in the country, per kenpom.com. All in all, the other aspects of the Tar Heel defense have been fine — UNC is allowing teams to shoot 43% on two-pointers, which ranks 48th in the country and is protecting the rim well, blocking four shots per game. But the three-point shooting defense has been atrocious. UNC ranks one spot ahead of UMass Lowell and one spot behind Long Beach St. in that statistical category, two teams that the Tar Heels do not normally find themselves next two when it comes to basketball statistics.
