Tar Heels stick to plan, blow out visiting Wolfpack
Posted Jan 13, 2008
North Carolina spent two days preparing for N.C. State, but it only took 20 minutes for the Tar Heels to show they are on another level from their rivals. Top-ranked North Carolina took all the intrigue out of the contest in the first half, and with N.C. State's abysmal shooting early, the Tar Heels cruised to a 93-62 victory over the Wolfpack on Saturday in the Dean Smith Center.
