UNC bounced back with a vengeance last night from its first loss of the season, thumping College of Charleston at the Smith Center in its last non-conference game of the year. UNC won 108-70, led by Tyler Hansbrough and Ty Lawson. Playing with determination and drive, UNC blew the game open in the first 12 minutes after halftime by surging to a 92-54 lead. Tough, aggressive defense helped UNC go on a 39-13 scoring run to take the big lead with 8:09 left. (Winston-Salem Journal)
