Posted Feb 25, 2012
Tyler Zeller scored two of his game-high 20 points with 13.3 seconds left to help give No. 7 North Carolina a 54-51 victory against No. 25 Virginia on Saturday. With the Tar Heels (25-4, 12-2) leading by one and the seconds ticking away, Kendall Marshall passed to Zeller, who faked a shot, drove down the lane and scored on a one-handed dunk with 13.3 seconds to play.
