An explosive second half propels UNC to victory over NC Central
Kansas v North Carolina | Ryan Hunt/GettyImagesThe UNC basketball program did what it was supposed to do on Friday night.
Behind a 21-point, 13-rebound double-double effort from Caleb Wilson, the Tar Heels cruised to victory over NC Central to improve to 4-0 on the early season.
The first half was rather sluggish, as North Carolina coughed the basketball up 10 times. Even though it was sloppy, the Tar Heels still found a way to take a 15-point lead into the break, but ultimately ran the visiting Eagles out of the gym in the second half.
After scoring just 39 points in the first half, the UNC basketball program turned it up a notch, scoring 58 points over the final 20 minutes of action.
