UNC 97, Appalachian State 82: The look back

Posted Dec 17, 2011
No. 5 North Carolina defeated Appalachian State 97-82 at the Smith Center on Saturday night. It was an easy win, but one that didn’t come as smoothly as Tar Heels coach Roy Williams would have preferred. Carolina dominated the middle portion of the game. The Heels led 34-30 with 4:32 to play in the first half. Over the next 14 minutes and 17 seconds, UNC outscored the Mountaineers 42-17. (Raleigh News & Observer)
