Posted Apr 1, 2009

The biggest cheer from UNC's bench Sunday didn't come after Danny Green's rim-bouncing 3-pointer, Ty Lawson's run-stopping free throws or Larry Drew's putback. It occurred late in the first half of the Tar Heels' NCAA South Regional victory against Oklahoma, after Sooners wing Tony Crocker had to force an errant shot at the buzzer, and his team committed a shot clock violation the very next time down the floor.
