North Carolina, cold in the first half, got hot in the second half to win going away at Long Beach State 78-63 Friday night.

The Tar Heels, despite shooting only 30 percent in the first half, managed a 33-32 halftime advantage. But it was a three-point barrage over five minutes in the second half that opened it up.

Ahead just 42-41 five minutes into the second half, the Tar Heels drained six three-point shots over the next five minutes to open it up.

Reggie Bullock popped in back-to-back threes before James Michael McAdoo got an old-fashioned three-point play. Then Bullock, Leslie McDonald and P.J. Hairston (twice) hit four threes. When the barrage was over, the Heels were up 62-48 with just under 11 points left in the game.
