If it weren’t bad enough to try to withstand a career-high 32-point, eight three-point performance by Deividas Dulkys, North Carolina turned the ball over a season-high 22 times and shot a season-low 37 percent to fall 90-57 at Florida State.
Dulkys, who averages six points a game, hit only five threes in his last nine games but was on fire from the outset. Midway through the first half, FSU was already up by double figures at 25-15 and Dulkys already had 13 points.
Despite not scoring the last 3:31 of the first half, the Tar Heels held tough the rest of the first half and trailed only 36-28 at the half.
Instead of Carolina making its patented early second-half run, the Seminoles went on a 17-2 run in the first five minutes to bust out to a 53-30 lead. It was only downhill for the Tar Heels from there.
