The suspense for No. 20 North Carolina On Saturday didn’t come from anything that happened on the Smith Center floor against East Tennessee State – the Buccaneers scored just 12 first-half points in UNC’s 78-55 win. Instead, the suspense came in the locker room right before the Tar Heels (7-2) took the court for warm-ups, when Coach Roy Williams wrote the starting lineup on the board. (Durham Herald-Sun)
