- 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.
