Previewing Wake Forest vs. North Carolina

Posted Dec 12, 2008
UNC coach Elmar Bolowich remembers that loss to Wake well. It was one of five in a row the Tar Heels suffered heading in to the NCAA tourney, where they have, to the surprise of many, reeled off three straight wins. "We played great for most of that game, so we know we can hang with them," Bolowich said. "We have to be focused for 90 minutes and last time we didn't do that. We made a few mistakes and that's why we lost. If we can do it on Friday, we have a good chance." (ESPN.com)
