UNC men's basketball defeats NC State, 97-73, to sweep season series

Posted Feb 15, 2017
Much like the first matchup between the two, UNC dominated the opening minutes of the contest. The Tar Heels got the ball into the paint early and often, scoring virtually at will against an undersized N.C. State squad. No matter which tandem of forwards took the floor for UNC, N.C. State could do little to slow the Tar Heels down inside. (Daily Tar Heel)
