Heels wanted a close one and get it in a loss to BC
Posted Jan 5, 2009
North Carolina got that close game it wanted. Funny, the Tar Heels liked it better in theory. Two days after Danny Green said UNC would benefit from a game that went down to the wire, Boston College gave the lackluster Tar Heels the reckoning they were looking for, methodically running its offense well enough to come away with a surprising 85-78 victory at the Smith Center on Sunday evening. "They were much tougher than us tonight," UNC point guard Ty Lawson said.
