Behind a career night from Henri Veesaar, the UNC basketball program rode a strong second half to a double-digit victory over St. Bonaventure in their Fort Myers Tip-Off opener on Tuesday night.
Playing for the first time on the road this season, the Tar Heels got off to a strong start. Connecting on five of their first six shots from the floor, it felt like it wouldn't be long before North Carolina pulled away, but a mix of physicality from the Bonnies along with costly turnovers had this a two-point game at the half.
Over the first 20 minutes, the UNC basketball program coughed the basketball up 11 times.
