Wofford stuns No. 5 North Carolina 79-75 in Chapel Hill
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — Wofford coach Mike Young walked into his postgame news conference wearing a soaked dress shirt and sheepishly drying himself with a towel.
"Pardon my appearance," Young said, "a little over-exuberance from my team."
It's OK, coach. Beating fifth-ranked and reigning national champion North Carolina — on the road, no less — deserves a hearty celebration.
Fletcher Magee scored 27 points to help the Terriers stun the Tar Heels 79-75 on Wednesday night, snapping UNC's 23-game home winning streak.
The Terriers (8-4) led the entire second half and by as many as 14 points before holding off UNC's late-game run for their first win over a ranked team in 23 games.
