The North Carolina Tar Heels extended their win streak to 10 games on Saturday with a 75-68 win over Florida State. They moved to 17-3 overall and 9-0 in Atlantic Coast Conference play.
But they had to do so in a tough way.
UNC had two double-digit leads in the game that they had to hold on to and fight off some Seminoles runs. In the first half the Seminoles rallied back and took a lead into halftime with their tough, physical play.
When UNC grabbed the lead back in the second half, they had to fight off another rally by Florida State and used a 10-0 run to get the win. The Tar Heels got it done on both the offensive and defensive end of the court, as RJ Davis, Harrison Ingram and Elliot Cadeau paced them to a victory.
UNC will now stay on the road and face off against Georgia Tech before hosting Duke a week from today. But before we get too far ahead, let’s look at what Hubert Davis had to say after this win over Florida State.
