UNC struggled through the first half before turning on the jets in the second half to rally for a 79-70 win over NC State on Saturday. The second half surge was fueled by an absolutely atrocious stretch by the Wolfpack offense that really made the difference in the game.
State went ten minutes without a field goal in what was a brutal 0-15 stretch from the field. Despite that, they were kept in the game more than they otherwise would have been by free throws, but the Tar Heels were able to put some distance between them to take a lead that they would not relinquish.
