Tar Heels unable to get over the hump in NIT title game

Posted Apr 2, 2010
In the second half of Dayton’s 79-68 win against UNC, the Tar Heels scratched and clawed into the Flyers’ double-digit halftime lead to cut the margin to three points or fewer eight times. Each time induced the same reaction from the crowd. UNC fans would stand and attempt to will their team into the lead, and the noise from the large UD contingent would become muffled. But all eight times, the Tar Heels simply didn’t have enough make the next step. (Daily Tar Heel)
