Tar Heels put on dazzling show in 117-53 exhibition victory, newcomers show versatility

Posted Oct 28, 2023
This North Carolina group doesn’t look like a No. 19 team. The 3-pointers were raining in. There was good spacing on offense, block parties on the other end and quick transitions from defense to offense. It produced an impressive show as the Tar Heels coasted to a 117–53 victory at the Smith Center over St. Augustine’s, which went 8–18 last season. (Tar Heel Tribune)
