Tar Heels keep it casual in victory over Colonels

Posted Dec 19, 2011
North Carolina rolled through an extremely over-matched Nicholls State team tonight at the Dean Smith Center, toppling the Colonels 99-49 despite not playing especially well. The Tar Heels held every tangible advantage in the contest, most noticeably on the backboards: Carolina out-rebounded the Colonels 72-35. Some teams don’t reach 72 points in a game.
