Still without their star point guard the Tarheels are doing just fine against their ACC rivals. Behind the power play of Tyler Hansbrough the offense isn't a problem. Sunday it was all gravy for the Heels as they duked it out against Wake Forest at Chapel Hill. Attacking the rim UNC took an early lead and carried it into the second half. Both teams shot the ball well in the game.
North Carolina hit 56% from the field while Wake connected on 48%. Hansbrough once again took command inside pouring out 29 points on 9-of-13 shooting from the field. Forward/guard Danny Green cleaned up around the goal with 9 rebounds while adding 15 points.
Free-throws missed really hurt the Demon Deacons down the stretch as they only made 8-of-17. James Johnson was their high scoring with 22 points. Expected to get a decent seed in the
ACC tournament Wake will have to turn up their performance a notch and not be running on flumes come tournament time. At 26-2 UNC isn't worried about their placement in the tournament, but when Ty Lawson will be ready to rejoin the squad. If all goes well hopefully he'll be back by 2 week of March if not sooner. The Tarheels really flourish with his speed on the court and his ability to run the offense and excel on fast break chances. Can't wait to see him return and help give the Tarheels a push during March Madness!
