CHAPEL HILL — Roy Williams kept saying that he had a good shooting team, that North Carolina would knock down more 3-pointers sooner or later. On Sunday, at least, the seventh-ranked Tar Heels proved their Hall of Fame coach right.

Harrison Barnes scored 23 points and North Carolina hit 10 3-pointers in a 93-81 victory over Georgia Tech on Sunday that ended a four-game losing streak to the Yellow Jackets.

Tyler Zeller added 17 points for the Tar Heels (18-3, 5-1 Atlantic Coast Conference), who have won 12 of 13 games and extended their school-record home winning streak to 31 games. North Carolina shot 54 percent, led by 20 points at halftime and by 24 in the second half of an easy win that moved the Tar Heels into a tie with Duke and Florida State atop the ACC standings.
