Posted Jan 21, 2015
UNC overcame a sluggish and sloppy first half to put together it's best offensive half of the season to pull away from Wake Forest for an 87-71 win on the road. This game and especially the second half illustrated how good UNC can be when they fire on all cylinders. The trio of Meeks, Johnson and Jackson scored 52 of UNC's 87 points and had a total of eight missed shots on 30 attempts between them. (Tar Heel Blog)
