Carolina’s 11-point win over Florida State doesn’t illustrate the white-knuckling that went on in the second half when a huge run by the Seminoles cut it to a two-possession game. The Tar Heels fended off the run and went on a small run of their own to close out a 77-66 win on the road in Tallahassee.
In the first half, the Tar Heels looked like an even better version of the team that showed up against Virginia. They made 11 of their 18 field goal attempts, good enough for 60% from long distance. Florida State made just two shots from deep in the first 20 minutes.
