The Tar Heels head to Charlotte on Tuesday with a 6-4 record overall and a 1-4 record against teams currently ranked inside of the AP Top 25.
Mediocrity has been the sentiment of the ball team throughout the better part of the first month and a half of the season. In only two wins this season (American and La Salle), the team looked overly confident.
In all the other games, they dropped to double-digit deficits early and either climbed back out to secure a win or failed to every comeback. However, is that changing?
Hubert Davis told 247 Sports that UNC basketball has stepped up their game in the practices leading up to their Jumpman Invitational showdown with top-10-ranked Florida.
There were some good things that we can build on, that we emphasized and we talked about over the last two days of practice. And honestly, the last two days of practice have been the best practices all year. For the first time all year, I went home and I was like, ‘Wow, we’re getting better, we’re improving.’ … I’ve talked to you guys about getting to that level and staying at that level, and I felt like the last two days of practice, we started and we stayed there. And so we’ll see if we can translate that to tomorrow night against Florida.
We will see if that level of play transpires on the court in front of the nation. The Tar Heels match up with Florida at 7:00 p.m. ET at the Spectrum Center on Tuesday night, airing on ESPN.
