It’s been a while since we as Carolina fans have been treated to watching high-level basketball being played on both sides. Tuesday night saw us treated to a couple of teams playing good basketball going at each other. Unfortunately the Tar Heels came up on the short end, but there’s still plenty to be happy about. It’s also going to provide an important learning opportunity as the season moves along.
Here are three things we learned in Carolina’s loss to the Huskies in the Jimmy V Classic:
Lose the rebounding battle, lose the shooting battle, lose the game
Credit UConn, they are built well both inside and out, are well coached, and they have a personality that will fight for every loose ball.
