Tar Heels back on winning track after taking down B.C.

Posted Jan 18, 2014
UNC shot better than 50 percent in each half and never trailed after the first four minutes, eventually pulling away for an 82-71 win over the Eagles at the Smith Center. Marcus Paige (21 points) led five players in double figures as the Tar Heels avoided their first-ever 0-4 start in the ACC. “We are just very, very pleased, relieved — you can put any adjective that you want to in there,” Roy Williams said.
