Discussion
Nice home win to build a bit of confidence, especially with the DSQ of Bacot in the game's waning minutes and the absence of Garcia. Notably, the team took care of the ball, turning it over on only 9% of its possessions. It was the 38th cleanest performance with the ball since 1996. With only 155 total possessions in the game, this was the 165th slowest game since 1996. Finally, UNC shot only 34% inside the arc. It was 23rd worst shooting performance in the period. UNC held a nice 9 possession advantage due to more good rebounding. The Heels are 8th in the nation in Rebounding Margin.

Note: I've added all-time averages to each of these stats in the Spoilers window.
