Posted Jan 10, 2017
NC State averaged 84.5 points per game, but that was before they traveled to Chapel Hill. The North Carolina Tar Heels brought the intensity on defense and smothered the Wolfpack offense holding them to just 56 points. "Defensively, we came out with a lot more intensity than we have in past games," UNC forward Justin Jackson said. (Carolina Blue)
