We’ve been waiting all season to see the UNC basketball team that was worthy of the #1 ranking heading into the season. There have been flashes and flickers of it at points, but tonight’s game against The Citadel was the first time we saw it wire-to-wire, and it resulted in a very solid 100-67 win against the Bulldogs.
The Tar Heels led for all but 50 seconds of game action, which has been hard to come by even in games against lesser competition. Carolina shot 44% from the field in the first half on their way to a 48-33 halftime lead, but they were even better in the second half, including a non-zero amount of garbage time minutes for the bench late.
