Larry Drew, Tyler Zeller rescue North Carolina
Posted Dec 5, 2010
Entering the season, fans were looking to UNC's highly-touted freshmen to lead their team back to prominence. But with a much-needed victory on the line Saturday, it was the juniors who made the biggest impact for the Tar Heels down the stretch. Point guard Larry Drew II clamped down on defense and 7-footer Tyler Zeller scored 12 of UNC's final 16 points to top No.10 Kentucky 75-73 at the Smith Center.
