Twenty-three games into what was already considered one of the best freshman seasons in North Carolina history before Tuesday, Coby White felt as if he'd hit a wall, at least by his lofty standards.
White entered Tuesday's game against Syracuse averaging 9.7 points over his past three outings. In that span, he'd gone 11-for-37 from the field. That included a 3-for-16 mark on 3-pointers. Overall, those numbers suggested what he said he knew: He'd lost his shooting touch.
Subsequently, he said he started questioning his confidence. But he did what shooters do and spent more time in the gym, where he realized he needed to get lower in his shot and put more arc on it.
