Scoring is secret to beating UNC

Posted Feb 13, 2007

A team can play its best defense against UNC and still lose by 10 or 15 points. If that same team shoots 30 percent from the field and turns the ball over 20 times, it might lose by 40 to the Tar Heels. "Against Carolina, you have to score," Wake Forest coach Skip Prosser said. "They are so talented. They have so much offensive firepower. Every once in a while they'll have a bad night, but especially at home, they are going to score." (Carolina Blue)
