No. 1 Tar Heels cruise past UNC-Asheville 116-48

Posted Dec 1, 2008
Danny Green had just hit a long 3-pointer - his sixth straight of the second half - when he grabbed a rebound and pushed the ball upcourt in transition. As he crossed midcourt, the home crowd began playfully yelling, "Shoot!" Green obliged but missed, ending a run that had even coach Roy Williams chuckling during a timeout a short time later. "When you're up big and having fun," Green said, "it's a lot easier to make jokes." Yes, it was an easy night for top-ranked North Carolina. (WRAL Sports Fan)
