UNC pulls away late, beats Wake Forest 78-64

Posted Feb 16, 2011
North Carolina fell into the trap that Wake Forest sprang on Tuesday night at the Smith Center, but got free with the help of Harrison Barnes and John Henson to win 78-64. Wake Forest played almost the entire game in a 2-3 zone, which forced North Carolina to rely on one of the shakiest parts of its game, outside shooting. And North Carolina wasn't up to the task, even at home. (Winston-Salem Journal)
