Analyze this: North Carolina 77, Wake Forest 68

Posted Feb 28, 2010
Play of the game: Plays, actually. Carolina freshman guard Leslie McDonald had a breakout game with 16 points, but a 9-second stretch in the final minute defined his day. After Wake’s L.D. Williams made a 3-pointer to cut the Tar Heels’ lead to 71-68, McDonald hustled down the court, caught a pass from fellow freshman Dexter Strickland and scored a fast-break layup to push the lead back to 5 with 51 seconds left.
