Quick takeaways from Tuesday's nonconference game.

By Adam Lucas

1. A better second half performance was enough for Carolina to beat Wyoming, 76-63. The Heels are 3-0.

2. The easy way to sum up that entire evening was with the rebounding numbers. In the first half, Wyoming dominated the backboards, including rolling up a 60 percent offensive rebounding rate (they recovered 15 of their 25 misses). That figure plummeted to near 20 percent in the second half, as the Cowboys got just four offensive boards.

3. Carolina even won the overall rebounding battle in the second half, 20-18.
