Heels too much for Rutgers
Posted Dec 29, 2009
With about 2 minutes left on Monday and North Carolina leading by 4, freshman Dexter Strickland buried a 3-pointer from the corner that halted Rutgers' comeback and ultimately sealed the ninth-ranked Tar heels' 81-67 victory. Normally, such a swish would be a cause for celebration at the Smith Center. But for UNC coach Roy Williams, it was just another reason to be mad.
