After slipping up at home on Tuesday night to Clemson, North Carolina bounced back in a big way. But not without some late-game drama.
The Tar Heels had leads of 12 in both halves in this game, watching Miami battle back and even take a one-point lead at halftime. After UNC went on a 9-0 run early in the second half, they controlled most of the final few minutes.
The Hurricanes battled back down four before making a free throw, then missing one with a lane violation. That essentially sealed it for the Tar Heels but it was still a little nerve-wracking at the end.
In the end, the Tar Heels moved to 19-5 overall and 11-2 in ACC play, maintaining their lead over Virginia.
