Tar Heels clean up offense, prepare for third NIT game

With only 11 giveaways on the day, the Tar Heels didn’t let their offense stall. Mississippi State didn’t bury the Tar Heels with a killer run as so many teams have this season. In fact, UNC has quietly cleaned up its act in its last three games. (Daily Tar Heel)
