There were a couple of ways to look at the UNC/NC State game prior to tip-off: either the Heels were going to show out on Roy Williams Day with Michael Jordan in attendance, or it was going to be a trap game and NC State would laugh their way back to Raleigh with an upset win. Thankfully the former happened, and boy did it happen in a big way. The Heels were lights out from the three-point line, and the Wolfpack ended up leaving the Dean Dome with their tails between their legs to the tune of 100-80.
The Heels immediately jumped out to a lead to start the game thanks to a three-pointer from Brady Manek.
