UNC gets past Miami

Posted Feb 16, 2012
North Carolina leads the nation in scoring and rebounding. It showed Miami it can play good defense, too. Sputtering on offense and evenly matched on the boards, UNC used smothering defense Wednesday to erase an eight-point deficit in the second half and beat Miami 73-64. The Tar Heels, who came in averaging 83.5 points, shot only 38 percent and went 5 for 18 from 3-point range. (Winston-Salem Journal)
