Well, it was not pretty. But the North Carolina Tar Heels finished strong for a 88-79 victory over Wake Forest. The early contender for Player of the Game was Leaky Black. The super senior kept UNC in the game during the first half with 14 points. Black’s three threes matched his total from behind the arc over the last seven games. Black cooled off in the second half, but his steal and slam in the waning moments gave him a career-high 18 points.
Coming out of the locker room down a point, the player that was critical to the Tar Heels’ victory was RJ Davis.
