Tar Heels roll over Long Island
Posted Mar 19, 2011
Despite sloppy play from North Carolina and a few attempts by Long Island University to claw its way back in the game, the Tar Heels (27-7) just managed to roll over the Blackbirds (27-6) 102-87. The Tar Heels pulled from multiple channels to get their first win in the 2011 NCAA tournament. Three players, including John Henson, Tyler Zeller and Harrison Barnes, finished the night with more than 20 points.
