In Sunday’s ACC Action, Virginia Tech hammered Merrimack 72-43, Rhode Island topped 71-65, Florida State popped Loyola Marymount 73-45, NC State got by Texas Southern 65-57, Miami knocked off Florida A&M 86-59, Clemson fell to West Virginia 66-59 and UNC got smacked around by Tennessee 89-72.
First though we got some numbers conflated when we talked about UNC’s defense yesterday, mixing up the win-loss columns.
Nonetheless, UNC has a real problem with defense, as Hubert Davis acknowledged after losing to Tennessee by 17: “The defense that we’re playing collectively and individually, that accountability to guard your guy is not there,” Davis said after the game.
