Carolina outscored No. 19 Kansas 58-37 in the second half en route an 87-74 win at the Dean Smith Center Friday night. The win is UNC’s first against the Jayhawks since 2002 and snaps a five-game losing streak against them.
Star freshman Caleb Wilson finished 24 points to lead all scorers, while Henri Veesaar added 20. Kyan Evans scored 12 points, all of which came in the red-hot second half. UNC shot 24-36 (66.7 percent) as a team in the second half.
The win improves UNC to 2-0 on the young season. The Tar Heels will be back in action when they host Radford Tuesday night at 7 p.m. at the Smith Center.
