No. 3 UNC Tops Boston College, 90-80
Posted Mar 2, 2008
Tyrese Rice scored 34 points in the first half and had the first two baskets of the second half to give Boston College an 18-point lead over No. 3 North Carolina. To finish off the Tar Heels, though, he would need more help. Rice finished with 46 points, but Tyler Hansbrough had 25 along with some teammates to share the scoring on Saturday as North Carolina came back to beat the Eagles 90-80.
