Posted Nov 8, 2019
Freshman Cole Anthony had 20 points and 10 rebounds to help ninth-ranked North Carolina beat UNC Wilmington 78-62 on Friday. Grad transfer Justin Pierce had 18 points and 12 rebounds to offset a bad shooting night for Anthony, who made just 7 of 24 shots but finished with a second straight double-double to go with three assists and four 3-pointers.
