Fifth-ranked North Carolina beats Elon 100-62
North Carolina headed into Christmas with one of its best performances of the season. The fifth-ranked Tar Heels didn't want to squander that progress by coming out of the holiday looking flat and unfocused.
Instead, they put together a dominating first-half run to blow out Elon early and extend their home winning streak.
Tyler Zeller had 19 points and 13 rebounds to help the Tar Heels beat the Phoenix 100-62 on Thursday night, tying a Smith Center record with their 25th straight win in the arena. It was North Carolina's first game after an eight-day layoff following a 19-point win against Texas.
"It's been a long break," point guard Kendall Marshall said. "We didn't want to take a step back. Coach (Roy Williams) always tells us that you're either going to progress or regress. You're not going to stay in the same place."
