PHOTOS: North Carolina takes down NC State

The best photos from the UNC basketball program’s win over NC State on Saturday to keep first place in the ACC.

North Carolina protected its home court and kept a hold of sole possession of first place in the Atlantic Coast Conference on Saturday, using a second-half rally to take down NC State.

After trailing by 8 at halftime, the Tar Heels turned up the intensity a little bit in the second half. Their defense forced some bad decisions by the Wolfpack and held them without a field goal for an 11-minute stretch.

Meanwhile, the offense took advantage as they went on a run to open the half and get the lead. UNC never looked back and took down the Wolfpack 79-70. 

Before we look too far ahead to a matchup with Notre Dame on Tuesday, let’s look at the best photos from Saturday’s win over the Wolfpack.
