Tar Heels stay cool in clutch
Posted Mar 12, 2011
UNC has lost Larry Drew, Reggie Bullock, Will Graves and the Wear twins, but the Tar Heels have gained a resilience that showed Friday as they floored Miami 61-59 on a last-second shot that had the light blue thousands in Greensboro Coliseum roaring. "This team has overcome a lot of things," guard Dexter Strickland said. "Those losses led to us having a better team chemistry. It shows our toughness. It motivated everybody."
