Lucas: Rapid Reactions - UNC vs. Northern Iowa

Posted Nov 10, 2017
That was a very unexpected offensive display considering the absence of Joel Berry and Cam Johnson (muscle spasms). The Tar Heels put up 86 points and did it on 50 percent shooting from the field, eventually building a 31-point lead in the second half. Take away two of the roster's top scorers, and an 86-69 victory is a very welcome start to the 2017-18 season. (GoHeels.com)
