The North Carolina Tar Heels escaped by the skin of their teeth against Wake Forest on Saturday, winning 73-69. Similar to its shocking loss to Wofford, Carolina came out lackadaisical and appeared to get complacent at times, allowing Wake Forest to stick around and very nearly hand the Tar Heels their second straight home loss.
While their performance was uninspiring and exposed plenty of things to work on in practice, UNC has had its share of disappointing starts to conference play under Roy Williams. Not only that, but this was actually his first win against Wake Forest in ACC openers in three attempts.
