Caleb Wilson's second-half surge sinks Navy's upset attempt

The UNC basketball program's performance as a whole on Tuesday night wasn't its best by any means.

In fact, the term "sluggish" would fit well, especially in the first half.

Shooting just over 32% from the floor over the first 20 minutes of action, North Carolina was fortunate to hold a seven-point lead heading into the break.

In need of a spark, who else but Caleb Wilson would provide it.

Wilson's second-half surge helped guide the Tar Heels to an 11-point victory over Navy on Tuesday night in Chapel Hill. The five-star freshman had a stretch of game time in which he dunked three times in the span of 1:19 on the game clock.
