WATCH: Bacot Throws Down The And-1 Dunk | Funderburk Drives Baseline For The Dunk

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) Garrison Brooks had 25 points and 11 rebounds to help North Carolina beat rival NC State 75-65 on Monday night.

Leaky Black added 11 points and seven rebounds for the Tar Heels (10-10, 3-6 Atlantic Coast Conference), who went ahead for good late in the first half to extend their road success in the longtime rivalry between nearby schools. The Tar Heels were again shorthanded with freshman star Cole Anthony still sidelined following knee surgery, yet UNC shot 49% and led by as many as 11 points after halftime.

When it was over, UNC had claimed a seventh straight win on NC State's homecourt, while Hall of Fame coach Roy Williams earned his 31st win in 35 tries against the Wolfpack during his 17 years with the Tar Heels.

D.J. Funderburk scored 18 points to lead the Wolfpack (14-7, 5-5), who shot 42% and made just 4 of 20 3-pointers. NC State had trouble most of the night defending the 6-foot-9 Brooks inside, then came up empty on several key sequences in the second half as time dwindled away.

C.J. Bryce, who came in as NC State's leading scorer at 13.9 points, went scoreless..
