After losing to the Michigan State Spartans on Thanksgiving Day, the North Carolina Tar Heels' following two games against the Kentucky Wildcats and Georgetown Hoyas were massive contests. North Carolina needed to win those two games to prove to themselves that they can compete against formidable opponents.
The Tar Heels left both those games with a combined 2-0 record and demonstrated that their top strength is good enough to carry them to a win. North Carolina's frontcourt combination of Henri Veesaar and Caleb Wilson has developed into one of the best tandems in the nation.
While speaking with the media during his postgame press conference, Wilson shared his thoughts on the win against Georgetown on Sunday. The freshman forward began by explaining how North Carolina prevented the Hoyas from going on a run at the end of the game.
Wilson has faced double teams throughout the season, which can cause a young player like himself to press and force ill-advised shots. However, the former five-star recruit operates in the flow of the game.
Because Wilson faces double teams at an extremely high rate, his willingness as a passer has been highlighted in those instances. Wilson talked about the trust he has in his teammates to give up the ball in those situations.
