On a night where both teams shot over 50 percent from the field, there was plenty of shots to go down. But when it was all said and done, the North Carolina Tar Heels outlasted one final run by Pittsburgh to win 80-78.
Carolina, who never trailed in the game, faced a zone defense for the third-straight game.
They struggled early on to find their shot but eventually connected on 9-of-24 threes and utilized their size down low to break in the zone.
Pitt entered the game last in the ACC at 1-7 but seemed to find their groove in Chapel Hill.
