Tyler Zeller's buzzer-beater lifts Heels past Miami
Posted Mar 11, 2011
A day after ninth-seeded Miami made an improbable comeback, the top-seeded Tar Heels made a surprising comeback of their own today, rallying from a 19-point second-half deficit to top the Hurricanes 61-59 and advance to Saturday’s semifinals in the ACC tournament. UNC won it in dramatic fashion, when point guard Kendall Marshall drove under the basket and passed to forward Tyler Zeller, who made a layup as the final horn sounded.
