Tar Heels 'take foot off pedal,' survive rough final minutes to beat Wake Forest
Posted Jan 11, 2026
Just when it looked like North Carolina would coast to its 500th Smith Center victory, it nearly slipped away. Hubert Davis talked like a coach trying to explain a loss. UNC pulled out an 87–84 victory over Wake Forest on Saturday night, but it blew a 15-point lead with 9:50 left. Davis said the intensity that earned that lead was missing in the final minutes.
