Wofford tops No. 5 North Carolina
Fletcher Magee scored 27 points to help Wofford stun No. 5 North Carolina 79-75 on Wednesday night, snapping the reigning national champion’s 23-game home winning streak.
The Terriers (8-4) led by as many as 14 points, then held off Carolina for their first win over a ranked team in 24 games.
“To bring a team in here and not only compete and fight and do some really good things — but win — holy cow, that’s a mouthful,” Wofford head coach Mike Young said.
North Carolina twice trimmed its deficit to a point and missed four three-point tries for the tie in the final six minutes.
