UNC edges Wisconsin, sets stage for trip to Kentucky
Posted Nov 30, 2011
It wasn't pretty or sharp or even fast. But it was a win. And North Carolina needed a win. So who cares that the Tar Heels looked sloppy? And who cares that the Tar Heels didn't look like a team worthy of all those preseason No. 1 votes they received? All that matters is that they escaped the ACC-Big Ten Challenge with a 60-57 victory over ninth-ranked Wisconsin.
