Tar Heels struggle in 14-point win over Deacs

Posted Feb 16, 2011
Wake Forest entered its game against No. 19 North Carolina as the worst team in the ACC with the worst field goal percentage defense in the league. But at times on Tuesday, the Tar Heels made it seem like the Demon Deacons had the best defense in the conference. The Heels struggled to hit shots for the second straight game but still managed to pull out their second straight win, surviving Wake Forest 78-64 at the Smith Center. (Durham Herald-Sun)
