Following 18th North Carolina’s 77-65 loss to 10th ranked Indiana North Carolina Head Coach Hubert Davis had this to say!
One of the things it’s not necessary we’re turning the ball (Basketball) over a lot but when we turn the ball over it’s a pick 6 almost every time . We turn the ball over 10 times they had 17 points on 10 turnovers. So that’s the point to the paint that was the issue tonight. Anytime that they needed a shot they could create a shot whether they made it or not . I felt like threw him( Jackson Davis ) that they (Indiana ) they can get the shot they want on pretty much every possession.

They (Indiana ) kind of get out in the passing lanes their perimeter guys they sat in the gabs a little bit so it was hard for us and they were denying as well . So that kind of made it tough and their physicality kind of bothered us.
