Heels Outlast Crusaders

Posted Nov 16, 2009
It took the fourth-ranked Tar Heels a little while to get going on this lazy Sunday afternoon, but senior Deon Thompson nudged his North Carolina squad into a 23-8 spurt to open the second half before withstanding a furious rally from Valparaiso to post a 88-77 victory. The scouting report on Valparaiso (0-2) suggested a team short on size and experience, but one that received strong play from its backcourt. (Inside Carolina)
