Final minutes of loss to Duke haunt UNC's Tyler Zeller

Posted Feb 9, 2012
Tyler Zeller was the last UNC player to emerge for the postgame interviews. His eyes bloodshot and his voice low, he spent nearly 3 1/2 minutes in the center of a halo of reporters and TV cameras. After numerous questions, a school media representative mercifully ended the session. For the Tar Heels' senior center, the final phases of Duke's 85-84 victory were the kind of meltdown that can leave scars. (Fayetteville Observer)
