Tar Heels hold off Wolfpack...again

Posted Feb 24, 2011
Harrison Barnes scored 16 points, all but two in the second half, to help UNC grind out a physical and emotional 75-63 win in front of a hostile crowd. The Tar Heels have won 16 of the past 17 meetings with the Wolfpack, including 10 straight, which is the longest streak in the series since 1967-70. "We knew it was going to be tough, and it's a tough place to play," said Tyler Zeller, who finished with 11 points and nine rebounds. (Durham Herald-Sun)
