Tough night from the perimeter sinks Tar Heels

Posted Mar 16, 2019
North Carolina has overcome a bad perimeter-shooting game to win many times this season. The No. 2-seed and No. 3-ranked Tar Heels did it despite 2 of 20 3-point shooting at Duke and they nearly did it with 4 of 27 shooting Friday in the ACC Tournament semifinals. If one of two 3-point attempts in the final minute fell, UNC probably would have won. (Triangle Sports Network)
