Tar Heels struggle down to the wire in win over Miami
Posted Mar 12, 2011
When the top-seeded Tar Heels were tied with the ninth-seeded Hurricanes in the closing seconds of Friday's quarterfinal game of the ACC Tournament, it only seemed natural that Harrison Barnes would be taking UNC's final shot. Instead, Kendall Marshall found Tyler Zeller near the basket, and the 7-foot junior made a layup at the buzzer to give UNC a 61-59 victory to cap a 19-point comeback by the Tar Heels in the second half.
