North Carolina's Joel Berry calls out teammates over defensive woes

After surrendering 79 points Saturday in a loss to Virginia, North Carolina guard Joel Berry took issue with the defensive effort of his teammates.

While the Cavaliers shot 44.3 percent from the field overall - not an incredible figure - the Tar Heels allowed Virginia to shoot a blistering 43.8 percent from behind the arc.

"The other individuals, you've got to have that heart to be able to want to stop them on the defensive end," Berry said, according to the Charlotte Observer's Andrew Carter. "I can only do so much and I can just try to motivate my guys, but it takes a whole team to be able to do what we want to do. And if we want to lock down people, it has to be all five guys buying into one thing and finishing out the defense."

When UNC did get stops, they often squandered the rebound, giving up 13 offensive boards to the Cavaliers - including four to Anthony Gill.

"In the second half we shot close to 50 percent," said Berry. "So it wasn't like it was the offensive end that was hurting us - it was the defensive end. That is the biggest thing we have been emphasizing all year and we need to change that."
