‘Wounded’ and stressed UNC clings to positives after difficult win over Georgia Tech

Posted Dec 7, 2024
Hubert Davis said that No. 20 North Carolina’s three-game skid had left his team "wounded," and a down-to-the-wire win as an 18-point favorite wasn’t exactly the best treatment for that. Georgia Tech, which came into the game with a 180 NET ranking, gave the Tar Heels a scare before UNC pulled out a 68-65 win Saturday in their ACC opener. (Tar Heel Tribune)
