Heels hold off Miami

Posted Feb 16, 2009
Roy Williams’ 200th game as UNC’s head coach ended in familiar Sunday night at BankUnited Center: a 69-65 victory. Miami just made it a bit more interesting than some of the others. The Tar Heels, who led my as many as 14 points, needed a key defensive play by Tyler Hansbrough and three 3-pointers by Ty Lawson in the closing minutes to withstand a 35-point surge from Hurricanes point guard Jack McClinton.
