Game Recap: UNC 85, Pittsburgh 67

There was some worry about this game. It had all the trappings of a potential loss to a team well below Carolina’s talent level, the kind which seems to happen at least once a season: Noon game on the road against a team that has been dangerous if not consistently good. Throw in the fact that it was sandwiched between two much bigger games, the Louisville win and the Monday night matchup at Virginia, and this looked like nearly the definition of a trap game. This late in the season, though, every game is big, and the UNC Tar Heels went into the Petersen Arena and took care of business against the Pittsburgh Panthers, winning 85-67.
