Tar Heels hold on to beat cold Buckeyes 66-55

Posted Nov 29, 2007

North Carolina missed guard Ty Lawson last night. Ohio State just missed, and missed, and kept missing. That was the story as the top-ranked Tar Heels pulled away in the second half for a 66-55 victory in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge. The Tar Heels took control after trailing 32-29 at halftime and eventually led by as many as 14 by outscoring the Buckeyes 20-4 in the decisive stretch. (Winston-Salem Journal)
