UNC plays with purpose in win over NC State
Posted Jan 26, 2012
The Tar Heels played their first game without injured junior guard Dexter Strickland, and it was probably their best defensive performance of the season. They faced a rising NC State team that is unselfish, balanced, and was said to be tougher physically. But the Heels answered with a lunch-pail effort that quickly got into the visitor’s heads, and the effect was quite devastating to the Wolfpack.
