Make it nine straight wins for the North Carolina Tar Heels after another impressive showing on Monday night in the Dean Dome. After a sluggish start, the Tar Heels turned it on in the second half en route to an 85-64 win over Wake Forest.
The win moved UNC to 16-3 on the year and 8-0 in conference play, holding a 2.5-game lead on NC State and Florida State going into Tuesday.
More importantly, it was another game in which UNC imposed their will on an opponent and flexed their muscles as the top team in the Atlantic Coast Conference. The Tar Heels are playing their best basketball of the season right now and look like a totally different team from a year ago.
As we start to wrap up January, there is a lot of confidence with this team that we hope they can take into March for a deep run in the NCAA Tournament.
But before we get too far ahead of ourselves, let’s see what Hubert Davis had to say about the team’s big win.
