UNC edges Wisconsin, sets stage for trip to Kentucky

Posted Nov 30, 2011
It wasn't pretty or sharp or even fast. But it was a win. And North Carolina needed a win. So who cares that the Tar Heels looked sloppy?

All that matters is that they escaped the ACC-Big Ten Challenge with a 60-57 victory over ninth-ranked Wisconsin. (CBS Sports)
