In a game that was more physical than most college football games, the UNC basketball program secured a 15-point victory over Radford to improve to 3-0 on the early season.
Already playing without senior captain Seth Trimble, the Tar Heels were hoping that everyone would stay healthy in their first game without him in the lineup. Unfortunately, Jarin Stevenson went down early with what appeared to be an ankle injury, forcing him to miss nearly 10 minutes of action in the first half of play.
North Carolina couldn't get going while Radford hung tough, despite dealing with massive foul trouble.
