UNC Closer to Complete Game in Commanding Win Over Wolfpack

Posted Jan 24, 2021
It was an odd feeling in the Dean E. Smith Center on Saturday. Not because a normal mid-January showdown with N.C. State would bring 20,000 raucous fans into the building. No, Saturday's 86-76 win over the Wolfpack felt a little weird because UNC built a 10-point lead at halftime (43-33) and maintained control of the game through the second half. (Inside Carolina)
