Tyler Zeller goes out with record night

Posted Mar 1, 2012
North Carolina always has a goal of making more free throws than the other team attempts. Center Tyler Zeller almost did it by himself Wednesday night, and as a result set a record in his final game at the Smith Center. Zeller made a building-record 20 free throws on 23 attempts and scored 30 points, leading UNC to an 88-64 win over Maryland on Senior Night. (Durham Herald-Sun)
