On a night when many of the best teams in college basketball made it a habit of putting a hurting on inferior competition, UNC struggled offensively like a team that has not yet fully found their groove. While triple digits would have surely been fun, the Tar Heels were able to come away with a win and plenty of things to work on moving forward.
Defensively, the Tar Heels looked tough. A combination of that good defense and poor shooting from UNCW limited the Seahawks to just 29% from the floor. Neither team was able to get much going from distance.
