Favors, Georgia Tech beat North Carolina 68-51

Posted Feb 17, 2010
Roy Williams wasn't expecting UNC's season of struggles to hit another low against Georgia Tech. Instead, the Tar Heels' lowest-scoring game of Williams' seven seasons as coach dropped UNC closer to the bottom of the ACC standings. Derrick Favors shook off a scoring slump with 13 points and Georgia Tech beat UNC 68-51 on Tuesday night to give the Yellow Jackets their first regular-season sweep of the Tar Heels since 1995-96.
