The No. 11 Cardinals defeated North Carolina 72-55 Feb. 19 at the KFC Yum! Center.
The contest had a sloppy start as both teams accumulated seven turnovers collectively in the first four minutes of the game.
Freshman David Johnson made the first basket of the game with an open three-pointer from the left wing.
After a three minute scoring drought for both teams, junior Jordan Nwora got the Cards (23-5, 14-3) back on track with a mid-range jumper. Johnson suffered three turnovers early in the game and senior Ryan McMahon, who drained his first shot from behind the three-point line, subbed him out.
