Banged-up No. 15 North Carolina holds off Florida State

Posted Jan 24, 2015
No. 15 North Carolina (16-4, 6-1 ACC) needed every bit of everything it got against Florida State (10-10, 2-5) to get its fifth straight win by a final of 78-74. The Tar Heels have now had back-to-back ugly wins at home with a good road win at Wake Forest sandwiched in between, and the tough part of their ACC slate hasn't yet begun. Florida State, meanwhile, showed plenty of signs of growth. (FOX Sports)
