UNC dances all the way to NIT semis
Posted Mar 24, 2010
UNC will have to settle for a trip to the Big Apple instead of the Big Dance. Deon Thompson had 14 points and 12 rebounds to lead the stingy Tar Heels to a 60-55 victory over UAB on Tuesday night in the NIT quarterfinals. The Tar Heels held UAB without a field goal for nearly 10 minutes down the stretch to earn their first trip to the NIT semifinals since 1973. They will face either Virginia Tech or Rhode Island in New York's Madison Square Garden.
