Discussion
On a night where Bacot seemed to be away at the Outer Banks, the UNC guards stepped up and held off a late run by FSU to win comfortably. UNC had 0.97 pts/poss to FSU's 0.84, but was even with rebounding.

Once again the opponent had few turnovers and UNC attempted too many 3s. In fact UNC has only fallen in love with the 3 on 5 occasions in the last 988 games. However what was unusual was UNC's poor night shooting inside the arc, shooting only 38% there. They've been worse only 51 times in the last 988 games. As well it's notable 3-point shooting display, and it's higher than average assists/FG rate were unusual. FSU was awful from 3, shooting 20%, and only had 0.28 assists/FG.
