Discussion
THis was a 1 point game with 9 mins remaining. However UNC's defense, highlighted by Seth Trimble, created turnovers and opened UNC's offense. Both teams scored 0.90 points per possession, but UNC ended up with 1.11 points per possession to Wake Forest's 0.98.

UNC shot a notable 62% from inside the arc, but allowed WF to shoot 49% from inside the arc. The other notable team stat is that UNC was outrebounded, as WFU had 2 more possessions that UNC.
