Halftime words lead to better second half actions as Caleb Love leads Tar Heels past Wake

Posted Jan 20, 2021
It was an ugly, listless first half for North Carolina, followed by a lengthy halftime stay in the dressing room that probably wasn’t pleasant for the Tar Heels players. UNC didn’t return to the court until 1:45 remained on the halftime clock. Whatever the message was, the Tar Heels shot better, were more aggressive offensively and cut down on their turnovers.
