Fatigued Tar Heels find a way to win

Posted Feb 1, 2012
It was one of those nights when Roy Williams’ Tar Heels couldn’t throw the ball in the ocean off a barge. They shot just 31 percent from the floor against Wake Forest in their worst shooting performance of the season. And yet, because UNC held the Deacons to an even-more-dismal 29.6 percent and committed a season-low six turnovers, it was never seriously threatened on the way to a 68-53 win (Wilmington Star News)
