Tyler Zeller, Tar Heels bounce back to beat stingy Cavs

Posted Feb 12, 2012
On a day when the other Tar Heels struggled to score, Tyler Zeller had a game-high 25 points on 9-of-16 shooting as No. 5 UNC beat No. 19 Virginia 70-52 at the Smith Center. Zeller also had nine rebounds (five offensive), three assists and matched a career-high with three steals. He threw the ball away and then was stripped by Akil Mitchell on UNC’s first two possessions, but didn’t commit another turnover after that. (Durham Herald-Sun)
