UNC's Lackluster Defense a Liability Ahead of Showdown with Maryland

Last week North Carolina ran into a freshman who had shot the ball pretty abysmally until he faced UNC, and then he turned into the second coming of Stephen Curry.

That guard was Kansas State's Kamau Stokes, who entered the CBE Classic championship game 3-of-14 from distance, made six of eight threes against the Heels and returned to mediocrity next time out, making two of seven threes in his next game.

Now, you could chalk this up to some dadgum bad luck, but that'd be ignoring a bigger problem it's about time the Tar Heels face:

This group is frustratingly average on the defensive end.
