There was a question whether his UNC team, which had struggled offensively and been a modicum of inconsistency, would respond to the scare at Boston College. The answer was quite well as the Tar Heels uses several offensive bursts to knock off Pitt 85-64
From the jump it didn't look great as UNC went 0-4 on field goals before a Kennedy Meeks putback tied the game at 2-2. That launched the Tar Heels off on a 12-2 run to stake a 14-4 lead thanks for four points each from Brice Johnson and Joel Berry. The lead grew to 17-4 on a Nate Britt three.
