Survived. Carolina wins over Pitt, 67-66. That's a school record for one-possession games in a season (10) and UNC is 6-4 in those games. In fully half the games this year, it has been a five-point margin one way or the other with five minutes to play. The Heels held Pitt scoreless the final two minutes with a variety of deflections and huge hustle plays. (GoHeels.com)
