Heels Fall in NIT Championship
Posted Apr 2, 2010
North Carolina had hoped that a NIT championship would help soothe the wounds that the 2009-10 season consistently delivered, but the Tar Heels were unable to overcome a 13-point halftime deficit to Dayton on Thursday, eventually losing to the Flyers, 79-68. Will Graves led North Carolina with a career-high 25 points on 7-of-13 shooting from 3-point territory. Deon Thompson scored 13 points and grabbed 10 rebounds.
