Lucas: By A Fingertip
Posted Feb 19, 2011
There will be time later to dissect what the recent offensive struggles could mean. Right now, the unconventional win moved Carolina to 20-6 overall, 10-2 in the ACC--narrowly. Reggie Jackson's shot was true. Even with John Henson's harassment, it still went halfway down before bouncing off the rim. "His fingertip hit my palm," Henson said. "I thought it was going in for a second. It was that close."
