It’s official, the Tar Heels can’t shoot. They miss from outside, they miss from inside. They miss open shots and contested shots. When they are fouled, they are likely to miss the free throw shot.
The 30.8 percent in the 63-57 home loss to Miami Wednesday was the second worst shooting exhibition by a Roy Williams-coached Tar Heel team.
It really was similar to the Wake Forest loss in that the two “shooters” on the team were hapless. Leslie McDonald was a mere three of 12 while Marcus Paige was an even-worse two of 15. That’s a combined five of 27. That’s less than 20 percent.
