The Postgame: Veesaar Stars in Win over Bonnies

St. Bonaventure had a plan coming into its game against North Carolina – be physical and make the Heels work on both ends. Carolina struggled down the stretch of the first half, but a strong second stanza and a career night from Henri Veesaar provided the cushion the Heels needed to keep the Bonnies at arm’s length, winning 85-70. Inside Carolina’s Rob Harrington joins Tommy Ashley to discuss the keys to UNC’s sixth straight win to open the season.
