'Over-rated' Tar Heels top UNC Asheville

Posted Nov 13, 2011
With about two minutes left Sunday night -- and North Carolina leading UNC Asheville by a comfy 17 points -- the Bulldogs’ student section nonetheless started chanting “Over-rated!” Senior forward Tyler Zeller’s reaction, when asked about it after the game: a shrug. “It’s just their opinion,’’ said the 7-footer. “You’ve just got to take it for what it is. We probably could have won by more, but at the same time, they’re a great team.” (ESPN.com)
