It wasn’t pretty but the UNC Basketball program ended their two-game losing streak on Saturday, surviving against NC Central

The UNC Basketball program avoided a major upset on Saturday afternoon as the No. 16 Tar Heels fought off a feisty NC Central program 73-67.

In a game that wasn’t originally on the schedule and added earlier in the week, the Eagles brought the fight while the Tar Heels were once again sloppy.
