Heels Avenge Last Year's Loss With 84-70 Win Over State
Posted Feb 21, 2008
Carolina’s 84-70 win was a particularly sweet victory for the Heels who remembered last year’s loss. “I still have that memory clear as day,” said Tyler Hansbrough, who had 32 points. “We were just trying to get off the court and everybody’s bumping you. It was a totally different feeling.” This time, State fans were shuffling up the exits with several minutes to play as Carolina dominated from late in the first half on.
