It wasn’t pretty, but last night the Tar Heels earned a decisive victory over Elon, 80-63. There are various ways that the Heels have managed to pull off a win this season, but making 27 of their 35 free throws is a new one. They needed every single made free throw as well, because the Heels finished this game only making 39% of their field goal attempts after knocking down 56% of their shots against Georgia Tech. Not exactly ideal, but at the end of the day a win is a win, and Elon deserves a lot of credit for how well they defended UNC for 40 minutes.
