UNC has been winning this way for the last two decades, so it's not surprising. Roy was a master of transition offense.

Hindsight is 20/20. Hubert probably wins that game by trying to keep the pace not quite as high and focus on force-feeding low post touches for Bacot and others. That is like demanding your C8 Corvette do the Costco run though. UNC is, traditionally speaking, a program that has more fitness and ability to sustain efficient offense at tempo than their opponents. Alabama challenged them on their terms, they accepted, and Alabama was a little more fit and a lot more productive in winning time on both sides of the court.
