Quality Trumps Quantity in UNC Win

Posted Jan 30, 2014
North Carolina relied on its quantity of field goal attempts to take a one-point lead into halftime. The second half provided more quality opportunities as the Tar Heels shot 67 percent from the field and pulled away from Georgia Tech for a 78-65 victory Wednesday night. The frigid cold that’s shrouded Atlanta since Tuesday provided an appropriate backdrop for UNC’s 30.8 percent shooting in the first half. (Inside Carolina)
