Tar Heels survive two rocky rides
Posted Jan 27, 2011
North Carolina started slowly, as if still rattled by a bumpy, scary descent when their plane landed in a Miami thunderstorm. After a turbulent first half Wednesday, they came through at the finish, when Harrison Barnes sank a 3-pointer with 6.6 seconds left to beat the Miami Hurricanes 74-71. "To say we feel very fortunate would be an understatement," UNC coach Roy Williams said. "We feel as lucky as we can possibly be."
