The Michael Malone era is officially 1-0 after an 80-72 win over Western Carolina. Rebounding was the biggest concern coming out of the preseason, so did Sayon Keita and Jarin Stevenson answer the call on the glass?

In this postgame breakdown, we dig into the stats from UNC's season opener, go to the film on the plays that decided the game and react to everything Michael Malone said afterward.
