Tudor: Zeller shows resolve in Heels' win over Virginia

Posted Feb 11, 2012
Tyler Zeller didn’t lose the game against Duke. He had an unfortunate last minute. But Saturday against Virginia in the Smith Center, the Tar Heels could not have won without the 7-foot senior center. Had it not been for Zeller’s 25 points, nine rebounds and three assists in a 70-52 win, the rest of his Heels shot so poorly that the crushing loss to Duke could have led directly to another against the Cavaliers.
