UNC is set to face Kansas in a crucial early-season game, aiming to prove they’ve improved from last year’s struggles against top teams. Coach Davis emphasizes the team’s urgency to improve, particularly first-year forward Caleb Wilson’s focused preparation. Key to victory will be containing Kansas’s dynamic duo, Darryn Peterson and Flory Budinga. Peterson’s scoring prowess demands strong perimeter defense, likely led by Trimble. Budinga’s physicality will test Veesaar, requiring help defense from Wilson. Offensively, UNC needs improved shooting, especially from Powell and Bogavac, and maintaining ball movement is critical. Their height will also challenge UNC’s offense.
