Heels Open NCAAs With 102-87 Win Over Long Island
Posted Mar 19, 2011
Tyler Zeller and John Henson scored almost at will inside against an overmatched opponent. Harrison Barnes wasn't too bad, either. Zeller scored 32 points, Henson added 28 points and six blocks, Barnes had 24 points and 16 rebounds and North Carolina used its hulking size to mask other problems in a 102-87 victory over scrappy Long Island University on Friday night in the East Regional.
