North Carolina traveled at the end of last week to Hawai’i. Since then, they have played four games in six days, including three in a row in the Maui Invitational.
They opened the tournament with a 21-point comeback win over Dayton. Heading to the semifinals, they dropped to down 18 and weren’t able to overcome the deficit, losing to Auburn.
In this third-place game, the same script transpired. The Tar Heels fell early and then mounted a second-half comeback. Seth Trimble hit a game-tying three to send the game into overtime where Michigan State would come out on top.
Check out the photo recap from last night’s game.
