 RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - David Noel had a career-high 25 points and added 11 rebounds, Reyshawn Terry scored 20 points and No. 21 North Carolina beat No. 15 North Carolina State 95-71 Wednesday night to hand the Wolfpack their first home loss in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
Tyler Hansbrough finished with 17 points for the Tar Heels (18-6, 9-4), who moved within a half-game of second-place N.C. State in the ACC behind No. 1 Duke (14-0). They completed their third consecutive season sweep of their Tobacco Road rival, all since Roy Williams took over as coach.
On the other side, Wolfpack coach Herb Sendek hasn't fared so well in this series, or the one with the Blue Devils. He fell to 8-38 against those two — 5-17 vs. North Carolina — but still has his team poised for its fifth straight trip to the NCAA tournament, which would tie the school record.
