CHAPEL HILL, N.C. ? One team scored the first 11 points, the other had the final 13. In between, No. 25 North Carolina did just enough to continue its recent domination of North Carolina State.

Bobby Frasor made sure of it.

The freshman point guard scored 15 of his 17 points in the second half as the Tar Heels held off the 13th-ranked Wolfpack, 82-69, Saturday.

Tyler Hansbrough converted all 14 free throws on his way to 20 points, and David Noel added 14 for North Carolina (9-2 overall, 1-0 Atlantic Coast Conference), which won its fifth straight in this Tobacco Road rivalry. This was the first time since Jan. 20, 1990, that N.C. State came in with a higher ranking.

In the first 3 1â2 minutes, it appeared this one might be different. The Wolfpack jumped to an 11-0 lead, an opening spurt that included a spectacular dunk by Cameron Bennerman.

Still, North Carolina coach Roy Williams refused to call a timeout, believing his team would recover on its own.

North Carolina's Bobby Frasor (4) shoots over N.C. State's Tony Bethel. Frasor, a freshman, scored 17 in the Tar Heels' 82-69 victory Saturday in Chapel Hill, N.C.

“I made a conscience decision that if it had been 44-to-nothing, I wasn’t going to take a timeout,” he said. “My team is so young, they have to grow. I know my team, and I think that it’s better in the long run if they fight their way out.”

Ilian Evtimov finished with 15 points, and teammate Tony Bethel had 13 for the Wolfpack (12-2, 1-1), who had their best start in 17 years stopped.

The Hawkeyes (12-4, 1-1 Big Ten) also shut down Illinois’ flashy point guard Dee Brown, who scored six points on 2-of-13 shooting – one game after he scored a career-high 34 in a victory over No. 7 Michigan State.
