Tar Heels come up ‘big’ at the end of long road trip
Posted Nov 13, 2011
Playing against an opponent whose tallest starter was 6-foot-5, they relentlessly began pounding the ball inside. It’s a strategy that paid dividends, as UNC shot 59.3 percent and got a combined 64 points from big men Tyler Zeller, Harrison Barnes and John Henson to pull away for a 91-75 win against the Bulldogs. “We were just bigger. We’ve got to use that to our advantage,” coach Roy Williams said afterward.
