Lucas: BC Rapid Reactions
By Adam Lucas
1. One of Carolina's best all-around performances of the season, as the Tar Heels demolished Boston College, XX-XX, on Sunday afternoon.
2. Carolina spent the last several days focusing defensively on keeping opponents out of the paint. That doesn't mean just preventing them from throwing the ball to a big man, but also on keeping penetrating guards out of the lane. Collectively, the Tar Heels did a better job in that category than they have at any point this season. Boston College managed just six points in the paint in the first half, and the Eagles were only 3-for-15 in the first 20 minutes on shots classified as layups.
