UNC leads Appalachian State at the half 49-38
Johnson finished the half with 14 points and the Tar Heels exited the first half with a 49-38 lead, looking to break the century-mark for the first time this season.

Johnson’s jumper with 7:55 to play gave the Tar Heels a 67-57 cushion and his layup on a feed from Berry increased the Carolina advantage to 73-57 with 6:18 to go.
“I just wanted to go out there and be aggressive like I was in the last two games, ” Johnson said. If the Bruins are going to show progress this season, they have to contend for the Pac-12 title.
Parker got his third early in the second half which forced Head Coach Steve Alford to bench both Brun bigs at the same time, which made it easy for the Tar heels to move around a bit more freely under the rim.
“I kind of used some bad language and Coach was really pissed off at me about it”, Johnson said. The North Carolina Tar Heels are averaging 85.6 points on 49.8 percent shooting and allowing 70.7 points on 42.2 percent shooting. “I was anxious if I was going to get back in there”.
“Last year, it was with good reason”, Paige said, “but I feel like I have some toughness to me. I just got to make better decisions when I’m coming off the court and not yell a profanity and saying things like that because I probably could have been in the game a little longer and got a couple of more points”. On the afternoon, UNC had only eight turnovers to UCLA’s 17, scoring 24 points off of those miscues compared to seven points scored by the Bruins. “We had two glaring weaknesses today”.
Johnson finished with 27 points, missing just one of his dozen shots from the field. It’s got a lot of experience, a lot of seniors, depth and size. There he was, nine minutes into the second half, laying in a lob from Justin Jackson to push the Tar Heels’ lead to five, then whipping around to shoot Jackson a smile as wide as his skull.
A 38 point victory is rarely remembered in college basketball almost a decade after it happened – but UNC’s 102-64 win against Pennsylvania in 2007 is an exception.
UCLA’s five-game winning streak ended yesterday at the hands of the 11th-ranked Tar Heels.
His first points came about a minute after he reentered.
Ohio Wesleyan 96, Kenyon 62: The Battling Bishops (9-1, 3-1 North Coast Athletic Conference) made 11 of 20 three-point shots in the first half on the way to a road win over the Lords (3-5, 1-3).
Hamilton scored 12 of UCLA’s first 16 points. Former North Carolina guard Wayne Ellington, who plays for the Brooklyn Nets, was in the crowd. UCLA’s 11 NCAA championships are the most in college basketball history.
Every trip down the floor, a North Carolina fan in a power blue jersey, screamed at full throat: “Our national championship run starts here”.

But center Thomas Welsh picked up three fouls in only eight minutes, Tony Parker picked up two, and UCLA’s lead evaporated. Carolina and UCLA have combined for 93 NCAA Tournament appearances and 35 Final Fours.
