Going “small” hasn’t stopped North Carolina from rebounding big.
The Tar Heels had 19 offensive rebounds and a 26 second-chance points in Saturday’s 80-66 win over Georgia Tech.
It was the third time in four games since Roy Williams put wing Cam Johnson in the starting lineup, that UNC had a rebounding advantage and second time the Heels had a rebounding margin of more than 20.
“(Rebounding) is a huge emphasis for us,” Williams said after Saturday’s game. “And you usually you do pretty well with the things you emphasize the most.”
