UNC Basketball: The Tar Heels winning ugly now may pay dividends in March

The 2018-19 version of the North Carolina Tar Heels basketball team is one of the most interesting teams we’ve seen in quite a while. No, wait, there’s a better way to put that: this year’s team may be one of the most confusing teams in recent memory.

Tuesday night’s 90-82 win against NC State is a perfect example — the Heels had 20 assists, but turned the ball over 23 times to finish the game with a negative assist-turnover ratio. The Wolfpack, however, had 17 assists and 13 turnovers. Without telling someone the box score, we should know who won that game, right?
