Seminoles wilt under UNC’s pressure as Tar Heels rally for victory

Posted Dec 2, 2023
UNC flipped the switch with pressure defense midway through the second half, and Florida State was helpless to do anything about it. No. 17 Carolina turned a 12-point deficit into a 14-point edge with a 30-4 run as the Tar Heels rebounded from a sluggish first half to earn a 78-70 victory over the Seminoles, thanks to 12 points off turnovers after halftime.
