Other than the season opener, none of North Carolina’s performances this season have been particularly dominant. Of course, the two most recent games were losses, but the two wins prior to that both required second half comebacks, despite coming against small conference competition.
While the first half against UNC Asheville wasn’t the sharpest, North Carolina had opened up a 13-point lead at the break. You would’ve hoped they turned it on and cruised to an easy win. By the final margin, it might look like they did that, but for a while there, things were not good.
