UNC beats Evansville 76-49 in Tyler Zeller's homecoming

Posted Dec 9, 2010
North Carolina forward Tyler Zeller said he wasn’t going to treat Wednesday night’s game any differently, just because it was his homecoming. And despite a few early nerves, he didn’t. With more than 1,000 fans in the sellout crowd from his nearby home city of Washington, Ind., the junior, as usual, led the team (18 points, 8 rebounds) as UNC easily beat Evansville 76-49 at Roberts Stadium.
