Listless UNC manages win over Oral Roberts
Posted Dec 14, 2008
Top-ranked UNC didn't come out of its exam break with its sharpest performance. That didn't stop the Tar Heels from cracking 100 points, anyway. Tyler Hansbrough had 26 points and nine rebounds to help North Carolina beat Oral Roberts 100-84 on Saturday, the sixth straight game the Tar Heels scored at least 98 points. Deon Thompson added 22 points for the Tar Heels, who shot 59 percent to take a 20-point halftime lead and were never seriously threatened from there.
