Tar Heels flip the switch, crush East Tennessee State after sluggish start
Posted Dec 17, 2025
Playing with more intensity on defense and taking care of the boards turned a competitive game into a rout. North Carolina played faster and was more determined, turning a 21-21 game in a low-energy first half into an impressive 77-58 victory Tuesday over East Tennessee State. Henri Veesaar punished a shorter Buccaneers team with 26 points.
