Tar Heels storm into Sweet 16
Posted Mar 25, 2019
Bloodied and bruised, the adversity of Sunday did nothing to disrupt the domination UNC put on display. On to the Sweet 16, with authority. The Tar Heels absorbed blows to two starters and still bashed Washington with an 81-59 beatdown in the NCAA Tournament’s round of 32. “It just shows how deep we are and how dangerous we are,” Nassir Little said.
