'Canes let Tar Heels off hook

Posted Feb 16, 2009
The only difference was this one didn't come in overtime. It was, however, just as heartbreaking. The Miami Hurricanes added yet another close loss to this season's list after falling 69-65 to No. 3 North Carolina on Sunday at BankUnited Center. It marked the fifth consecutive loss by five or fewer points. The Hurricanes (15-9, 4-7 ACC) were done in this time by a late 3-pointer from North Carolina guard Ty Lawson.
