No. 7 UNC overcomes poor shooting, charges past Miami in 2nd half
Posted Feb 15, 2012
Harrison Barnes scored 23 points and No. 7 North Carolina rallied from an eight-point deficit in the second half to beat Miami 73-64 Wednesday night. The Tar Heels, who came in leading the nation with 83.5 points per game, shot only 38 percent and went 5 for 18 from 3-point range. But they forced turnovers on four consecutive possessions in the second half, and sank four of six free throws in the final minute.
