NEW ORLEANS -- Three days ago, North Carolina coach Roy Williams lamented his team's second-half effort with disgust, describing its stunning home loss to Wofford as "bad movement, bad defense, bad coaching."
Whether such a performance was an aberration or cause for concern would be further gleaned when the Tar Heels took the court on Saturday, facing Ohio State in the CBS Sports Classic.
For all the things North Carolina did wrong on Wednesday, the Tar Heels' performance Saturday in a 86-72 win over the Buckeyes at the Smoothie King Center was what Williams would deem an appropriate response to a tough midweek defeat.
