If you're going to have UNC down double-digits in the second half and then they wake up and say, nah, and rattle off a 21-0 run. That's gonna be TOUGH.

HIS OWN PLAYER TRIPPED HIM!!!!

[InsideCarolina @InsideCarolina]

Tough sequence for Armando Bacot. He buckles out on the perimeter on defense and Jamir Watkins sticks a 3-pointer, then gets poked in the eye on the other end.

[Andrew Jones @AJTarHeel247]

Officials reviewed the goaltend call on FSU and taken away the basket from Bacot and UNC – it’s 23-22

[Evan Bennett @EvanBennettNC]

Tar Heels now lead 23-22 with 6:59 to play in the first!
