Tar Heels bounce back
CHAPEL HILL — Well, that’s more like it.
Three days after losing its No. 1 ranking, its first game of the season and its chance to go undefeated, No. 3 North Carolina bounced back Wednesday with a 108-70 blowout of College of Charleston at the Smith Center.
The Tar Heels’ defense wasn’t seamless, what with the Cougars shooting 46.9 percent in the first half and one of UNC’s best stoppers, Marcus Ginyard, sitting on the bench for the entire game.
But Carolina shot much better from the field (59 percent) and the free throw line (19-for-22) — becoming the first opponent to score 100 or more points against the Cougars since 1977, a span of 951 games, and the second-longest streak in the nation.
