Rough start to second half frustrates Tar Heels in 86-64 defeat of William & Mary

Posted Dec 31, 2014
The No. 19 North Carolina men’s basketball team (10-3) defeated William & Mary 86-64 Tuesday night at the Smith Center. A formidable point margin, but the Tar Heels' shaky start to the second half led to a lot of nitpicking by players and coaches. At the start of the second half, the Tribe gave UNC all that it could handle as the Tar Heels grew complacent in their large lead. (Daily Tar Heel)
