UNC snaps losing streak with win over Georgia Tech in ACC opener

North Carolina snapped their three-game losing streak in their ACC opener against Georgia Tech on Saturday with a 68-65 victory. Unlike most of their other wins, UNC didn’t wait until the second half to surge ahead, but instead they were locked in rock fight with the Yellow Jackets pretty much until the final buzzer.

The relatively low score is very uncharacteristic for how Carolina teams generally want to play. Neither team was particularly sharp with UNC being fairly inefficient from three again and Georgia Tech shooting just 28% in the second half. Despite that mark, UNC never really built their lead beyond a couple of possessions.
