Tar Heels Steamroll Bulldogs

Posted Nov 19, 2012
North Carolina didn't have to wonder long about whether it would have jet lag in its first game of this year's EA Sports Maui Invitational, as the Tar heels came out and overwhelmed Mississippi State with a dominant first half performance to move on to Tuesday's quarterfinal round with a 95-49 victory in the Lahaina Civic Center. With the win, UNC moves on to play Butler in the second round. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
