Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Davis finished 1-11 from behind the arc in No. 20 North Carolina’s 94-79 loss to No. 10 Alabama on Wednesday night. His poor shooting ushered the Tar Heels into t
heir worst 3-point percentage of the season, 17.9, while the rest of UNC’s roster offered little support. North Carolina’s three leading scores on the
season — Davis, junior Seth Trimble and sophomore Elliot Cadeau — finished 11-41 from the field, as the Tar Heels recorded a negative assist to turnover ratio.
Most of Davis’ shooting problems stemmed from an inability to create open looks. Out of the 11 threes he took,
all but one was off the dribble. It’s a byproduct of the extra defensive attention Davis earned after averaging 21.2 points per game last season.
“[The shots] are all tough right now, and I know that,” Davis said. “I knew that coming into the season, how guards were
going to be guarding me. And I mean, I know it’s gonna be tough, but I just gotta do a better job.”
