Nearly two weeks ago, just before Carolina took on Pittsburgh, I touched on how important it was for Kenny Williams to break his slump for the Tar Heels, who were in the midst of a three-game losing streak. Kenny and the Heels responded by throttling Pitt, 96-65, and winning three games in five days over the likes of Duke, NC State, and Notre Dame. It’s no coincidence that during that stretch, Williams shot 14-25 (56%) from beyond the arc, effectively ending his slump.
It’s almost laughable how different the feeling around this team was after losing its third straight at Clemson compared to now.
