UNC's dream start becomes Friday the 13th nightmare as Tar Heels can't escape Wake Forest

Posted Sep 14, 2019
It was a bizarre ending for a game that had two distinct plots. Early on it appeared that there’d be no positives in a destruction that spared no one in Carolina Blue. Late, the Tar Heels learned plenty about themselves fighting back to outgain Wake Forest 262-132 in the second half and widening their fourth-quarter scoring margin to 36-9 on the season.
