Tar Heels pull away with boost by Danny Green

Posted Dec 31, 2007

North Carolina thwarted Valparaiso’s stunning comeback last night with airtight defense after halftime and then sped away behind its break for a blistering 90-58 win at the Smith Center. Shutting down Valparaiso’s deadly 3-point shooting and getting an offensive spark from Danny Green, UNC generated a 27-2 scoring run in 7:42 that broke a 37-37 tie and provided an insurmountable 64-39 lead.
