Tar Heels blown out by Jackets
Posted Jan 17, 2011
UNC coach Roy Williams felt so fortunate Sunday that his team was trailing by only one point at halftime, he figured his Tar Heels would pull off a third straight come-from-behind victory. Not even close. Georgia Tech – ranked 12th in the league in field goal percentage and field goal percentage defense -- manhandled the Tar Heels, 78-58, halting the Tar Heels’ five-game winning streak like a windshield to a fly.
