It was a tale of two halves in UNC’s win over Furman on Tuesday night. The Tar Heels were tied with the Paladins at halftime before turning on the jets and putting a comfortable difference between them and their opponent on Carolina’s way to their fifth straight win.
Furman kept pace with UNC through the first 20 minutes on the back of eight three-pointers and 17 points from Alex Hunter. He went 4-5 from long distance in the first half to send things to the locker room tied 39-39. Furman shot 54% from the field in the first half, but it would turn around in a big way after the break.
