The other Tar Heel team &#8211; not the one that beat Louisville, Michigan State and Kentucky &#8211; showed up after Christmas break to play 4-7 Northern Kentucky and managed to limp to a 75-60 victory.<\/p>\n<p>The Tar Heels led by just five 35-30 at the half despite working the lead up to 14 early at 22-8.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, UNC coach Roy Williams benched the starting five, except for Marcus Paige, to start the second half. The second five did show more enthusiasm and intensity. A fast-moving Paige to Desmond Hubert to Isiah Hicks dunk play got the loudest ovation of the night and put the Heels up by 10 at 40-30 early in the second half.<\/p>\n<p>Williams said the second team&#8217;s desire gave the Heels a lift.
