The UNC basketball program moved to 10-1 on the season with a spirited win over East Tennessee State, a much livelier affair than the drab performance against SC Upstate. ETSU did its best to take the wind out of North Carolina's sails, grinding the shot clock down to single digits to limit possessions. But Hubert Davis and his men were not deterred, and fired a broadside against the Buccaneers in the second half to dust away their final buy-in opponents of the 2025-26 season.
UNC is performing well this year. After last season's missteps with great parts--but bad fits--this team seems to interlock like kigumi (木組み) furniture. Let's dive into some lessons learned from a splendid win over East Tennessee State.
