Following North Carolina’s 97-53 win over NC Central Friday in Chapel Hill Head Coach Hubert Davis had this to say about how NC Central was affecting his team during the game
From an offensive standpoint, they were taking us one-on-one, milking time off the clock,”
And then when it was 15, 10 seconds on the shot clock, they were trying to take us. And I just felt, throughout the entire game, we just got better — one-on-one defense, our ball screen attack. Our switches were better. We were boxing out better.”
Following North Carolina’s 97-53 win over NC Central Friday in Chapel Hill Head Coach Hubert Davis had this to say about guard Derek Dixon!
Derek is someone who’s very confident in his game and obviously can shoot the basketball,”But I think he’s done a nice job handling the ball and defending and getting our team into the offense. And he has so much room to improve as well. Four games into his career, I’m really impressed.”

"Our shot selection on the offensive end,""but it all started on the defensive end. We decided to start guarding them a little bit. We changed our defensive coverage on ball screens and really started to pressure the ball. There were five guys on the floor who put a pole in the ground and we decided to start guarding."
We have to continue to work on our ball screen defense, we have to continue to work on our gaps and our one-on-one defense and just starting the game with the defensive intensity that we need,"We read a book over the summer called Legacy and part of that is staying 'blue' and keeping a blue head. I thought even when it was a game early in the first 10 or 12 minutes, we stayed blue and didn't lose our head. We kept our composure and they actually came together, were connected and that's when we went on our run. At one point we had 12 defensive stops in a row, which was really good. I am proud of the guys for that."
