UNC did not look good in the first half against Florida Gulf Coast. Then, the Tar Heels went on a 13-3 run to open the second half and they never looked back. The halftime message? Simply "play better," Brice Johnson said. UNC's coaches were expectedly fired up, except for coach Hubert Davis who wasn't saying anything because he was so mad. (WRAL Sports Fan)
