College Basketball: No. 7 Ranked Michigan Defeats No. 11 Ranked North Carolina
Editorials News | Dec-01-2018
After 40 minutes of the hot game and smothering defense by Michigan, North Carolina coach Roy Williams was at the end of his wits. After the match, Williams said “As a coach, I feel like I’ve done the worst job with this team in 31 years as a head coach, but give Michigan the credit,” Williams’ frustration was totally acceptable, but his team didn’t took too much pressure than the other opponents that have faced seventh-ranked Michigan before in the tournaments. While Charles Matthews had 21 points and seven rebounds and on the other hand Zavier Simpson spearheaded another strong defensive effort as the Wolverines rolled to an 84-67 victory over the 11th-ranked Tar Heels on 28th November.
While coming on to Jordan Poole who scored 15 of his 18 points in the second half for Michigan (7-0), which led 39-35 at halftime and then shut down the Tar Heels’ fast-paced offense for a while. North Carolina who seems to be relaxed scored, 6-2 which is in an average of 96.6 points per game, but Michigan was allowing half that at 48.3. The Tar Heels ended up between those two extremes, but a good deal closer to the lower number. In the interview after the match, Michigan coach John Beilein said “We couldn’t simulate in practice with our scout team how fast (Coby) White was going to get down the floor, how fast they were going to run with their big guys,” basically the summary of the match is that Michigan out marked North Carolina 34-16 in the first 12:13 of the second half. At times, just getting a shot to the rim felt like an accomplishment for the Tar Heels. Basically the turning point was an alley-oop dunk by Teske put the Wolverines up 49-39, causing North Carolina to take a timeout. Matthews provided an even more emphatic culmination later on, shutting home an offensive glance while drawing a foul. After that Matthews completed that three-point play to make it 56-42, and then Teske and Matthews blocked shots at the other end. A 3-pointer by Poole made it 63-43. Michigan will take part in the Wolverines open their Big Ten schedule at home against Purdue on 1st December 2018.
