Wright, Heels avenge loss to the Wolfpack From Wire Reports Feb 23, 2007 Times Dispatch CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- Brandan Wright scored 24 points, and No. 5 North Carolina pulled away for a 83-64 victory over North Carolina State Wednesday night. Tyler Hansbrough added 20 points for the Tar Heels, who used a huge second-half run to avenge an upset loss earlier this month and move into first place in the league standings. A North Carolina roster that went 12 players deep proved too much for the fatigue-riddled Wolfpack, who have played with a short bench all season and had five players log at least 29 minutes. N.C.
