Heels feeling lucky

Posted Jan 17, 2008

North Carolina is still unbeaten. North Carolina has a win over Georgia Tech at Alexander Memorial Coliseum in the Roy Williams era. And North Carolina is feeling mighty fortunate in both regards. The top-ranked Tar Heels squeezed out an 83-82 victory last night by rallying from a seven-point deficit in the second half and then coming up with two defensive stops in final seconds.
