Posted Feb 12, 2012
Anyone at the game on Saturday afternoon easily could detect the despondency exhibited by the Tar Heels. But the Heels persevered through a turbulent first half and raced past the Cavaliers in the second, simply overwhelming one of the most plodding clubs in all of college basketball. Carolina didn’t falter during the closing minutes this time and expanded the lead to cement a 70-52 victory. (Independent Weekly)
