Freshmen show moxie in close loss

Posted Nov 30, 2005

It’s hard enough to go on a 12-0 run in the final three minutes of a game to give your team a chance at the end. But to do it with points scored only by freshmen? Ones who are playing in their fourth college game? That would appear to be dadgum-near impossible. Unless you’re North Carolina and the game in question is your 68-64 loss to No. 15 Illinois on Tuesday night. (Daily Tar Heel)
