Following North Carolina beating Pittsburgh 70-57 Tuesday in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania North Carolina Head Coach Hubert Davis had this to say!
“Pitt is the best rebounding team in the ACC. For us to have a chance to get to them, we had to come up big in terms of rebounding the basketball and we did it,
“Not only defensively, it’s the best that we’ve attacked the offensive glass. We were very active. We were tough. We were physical. Because of that physicality in the trenches, we were able to out rebound a really good Pitt team. I really think that was the number one determining factor for us being able to get a road win.”
