Tar Heels escape Virginia 62-56

Posted Jan 8, 2011
A couple years back, North Carolina’s Final Four teams used to like to “take people’s brownies” on the road. These days, it looks like these Tar Heels will settle for “stealing cookies.” Trailing by as many as 11 points in the second half – after going roughly nine minutes without a field goal -- UNC nonetheless topped Virginia 62-56 in an ugly ACC opener at John Paul Jones Arena.
