We’ve got to clean up on the little things that we did wrong today,”

the senior guard, before he listed those things — from reacting to screens the correct way to communicating on defense to committing sloppy turnovers to doing a better job of sticking to the scouting report and game plan to the need to be in a better position to wrangle loose balls.

Wagner was out there battling,and, indeed, the Seahawks during the first 30 minutes played above their meager means. UNC, though, also helped them. There were the six first-half turnovers, which Wagner turned into nine points. There were the nine missed layups; a missed dunk. There was the general and pervading sloppiness, which inhibited UNC’s ability to pull away earlier, and there were also the Tar Heels’ struggles against Wagner’s zone defense.

Following advancing to second of NCAA Tournament Thursday with 90-62 win over Wagner North Carolina Head Coach Hubert Davis had this to say!

I felt like at times we were out of character in the first half,”and he was talking about his team’s failure, in moments, to live up to its identity. Davis over the past several months has made no secret of what he has emphasized and tried to instill within his team.I felt like in the first half we had moments where we weren’t checking any of those boxes,”and that’s something, as you continue to move forward and specifically against Michigan State, you just can’t do that. You’ve got to be sound in all three of those areas.”
