Basketball Breakdown: No. 8 UNC dominates in the paint, pulls away from No. 16 FSU

Florida State traveled to Chapel Hill looking to extend their school record ACC winning streak to nine games, but North Carolina had other ideas. A tightly contested battle for the first 30 minutes, the Tar Heels found another gear and pulled away for the 77-59 win.

  • At least on this day, UNC was clearly the better team. It’s true that a few bounces and banked shots went the way of the Tar Heels, making the final margin a little wider than what it could have been. But even if a few more calls went FSU’s way and even if the Tobacco Road bank stayed closed on Saturday, the Heels still would have emerged victorious.
