There have been times this season, predominantly during practices, when Roy Williams says he's seen his team play and communicate well on the defensive end of the floor.
That certainly wasn't the case throughout North Carolina's 82-60 win over Davidson on Saturday at the Smith Center. But after entering the contest ranked 261st nationally in scoring defense, allowing 75.7 points per game, UNC's defensive performance against the Wildcats might've been a step in the right direction.
The Tar Heels surrendered 60 points against Davidson, the second fewest they've allowed this season. They also held the Wildcats to 29.
