UNC fell short in their Sweet Sixteen game against Alabama on Thursday night, thanks largely to an awful second half that followed a brilliant first half. Carolina had a 54-46 lead at halftime, but ultimately dropped the game 89-87.
The two teams traded blows in the first half with UNC excelling at the Crimson Tide’s game. As good as the Alabama offense was, UNC’s was just a bit better. They hit 11 three-pointers to Alabama’s seven in the first 20 minutes, and they did it without any help from RJ Davis.
Davis’ off shooting night couldn’t have come at a worse time.
