No. 25 UNC struggles to 80-69 win against Bulldogs

Posted Nov 23, 2010
Tyler Zeller scored a career-high 23 points and No. 25 UNC blew most of a 22-point, second-half lead before beating UNC Asheville 80-69 on Tuesday night. Freshman Harrison Barnes added 13 points for the Tar Heels, who regrouped after losing two straight games during the Puerto Rico Tip-Off. But North Carolina couldn't put away the Bulldogs and instead found itself protecting a six-point lead with 4 minutes to play. (WRAL Sports Fan)
