Heels storm to win
Posted Nov 19, 2008
North Carolina rattled Kentucky early with defense and offensive rebounding last night and survived another game without Tyler Hansbrough and Marcus Ginyard. North Carolina won 77-58 at the Smith Center to stay unbeaten after two games. Deon Thompson led a quick surge with his scoring and work inside on the offensive boards that produced a 25-6 lead inside of nine minutes.
