Tar Heels spurt past rival Wolfpack
Posted Feb 19, 2009
The first wave wobbled N.C. State. The second one packed enough punch to put away the resilient Wolfpack. North Carolina loaded up and unleashed a series of spurts that created sufficient separation and ultimately an 89-80 victory against rival N.C. State on Wednesday night in ACC basketball at the Smith Center. "We were just attacking more," guard Wayne Ellington said of the third-ranked Tar Heels' surging second half.
