The North Carolina Tar Heels have just three games left in the 2023-24 regular season. They have a strong record, but more to be accomplished in Armando Bacot’s final year. In order to achieve those heights, what are the tweaks UNC should make down the stretch? In a change from earlier this season, one of the recent struggles is closing out games comfortably. What are some steps the Tar Heels could take to help shore up those end game moments? For the first team in at least the last 40 years, the top six Tar Heels in minutes played (RJ Davis, Bacot, Cormac Ryan, Harrison Ingram, Elliot Cadeau, and Seth Trimble) all have an assists-to-turnover ratio above 1.0. What’s contributing to this and how is it helpful?

What tweaks are you looking for down the stretch of the regular season?
Both the J’s seem to bring similar things, paint offense and defense with the ability to stretch the floor and shoot the 3 although not as much from the 3 lately. I think having both of them to give Bacot and Ingram rest is crucial.
Seems like more effective clock management is needed in the last 4-5 minutes of games. Turnovers in the final minutes of games have been a big issue.
Going against the grain, I think there's a place for clock burning, in a game like Miami. I think Hubert killing clock had to be based on his presuming we'd hit at least 75% of our FTs, and Miami not making every 3 they took. The Free throw line is a huge part of our offense and one of the things that sets our team apart from others; especially in closing out a game. If we'd have made 60% from the line in this game, we'd have ended with a W and far less panic.
Yesh. We need to put our foot on the defensive side when we get a 10 + lead. Defensively we need to be better at running guys off the three point line. We'll see our improvements in the next three games plus the conference tournament. Go Heels. Let's go 17-3 and that might help get us alot closer to the #1 seed in the big dance.
20 points from the bench
Since UNC beat Duke they haven’t played Good basketball
This UNC Tar Heels is not Good. Bacot plays when he wants to. Ryan is not a consistent shooter. The rest of the guys cannot shot. I’m not expecting much from UNC this March.
Stop watching RJ Davis
The Tar Heels are overrated. They on court watching RJ Davis. nobody else score. What’s up with Bacot? They got help RJ Davis. Who else gonna score???
About the subs … I like that I'm not scared if any of the 6 through 8 guys has or is needed for extended munutes.
This is a good team that can play great on occasion or at times. Like many of the 4-10th ranked teams they can beat anybody on a given day.
Ill take that
I got a feeling we will get some in game full court press work next few games
