Just three days after losing to Pittsburgh for the first time since 2010, Louisville handed No. 12 North Carolina its worst home loss of the Roy Williams era with an 83-62 stomping at the Dean E. Smith Center Saturday afternoon.
Sure.
It’s hard to point to one thing specifically as the difference between Wednesday and Saturday, because it certainly felt like everything was different.
Louisville came out firing on all cylinders, connecting on each of its first seven field goal attempts. It out-rebounded the No. 2 rebounding margin team in the country by nine. It exploded from the outside and then dominated North Carolina in the paint when the Heels were forced to overextend.
