Tempers flare late in No. 5 UNC's win over NC State

Posted Feb 1, 2009
The North Carolina-N.C. State rivalry just got a little more heated. Tempers briefly flared Saturday after a hard foul in the final seconds of the fifth-ranked Tar Heels' 93-76 victory over the Wolfpack. With less than 2 seconds remaining, North Carolina's Mike Copeland took a fast-break feed from Bobby Frasor and leaped for an exclamatory dunk when N.C. State's Ben McCauley fouled him hard, sending him to the court. (WRAL Sports Fan)
