Bulldogs' Tillie with athletic layup (0:28)
Myron Medcalf ESPN Staff Writer
At ACC media day, Roy Williams said North Carolina's Luke Maye had to be more assertive this season. Played well against Portland. Will face more athleticism and length against the Arkansas/Oklahoma winner Friday.
Myron Medcalf ESPN Staff Writer
This Tar Heels squad is much different from last year's group. Obviously. But I think their versatility will carry them into the ACC's top tier. Definitely want to see how they look once Cam Johnson returns.
Berry throws alley-oop to Williams for layup (0:24)
Myron Medcalf ESPN Staff Writer
Theo Pinson worked on his perimeter game in the offseason. That's great. But this is who he is. He's best when he attacks and plays aggressive inside. He fell in love with the 3-pointer in some of his first games this year. But the Tar Heels need Pinson to just go to work and make plays around the basket.
Myron Medcalf ESPN Staff Writer
Portland not intimidated by North Carolina. Pilots fighting for loose balls and rebounds. Surprised by how physical Terry Porter's team is at the start of this game. But they have to play that way all game to have a chance.
