Rapid Reaction: UNC 69, NC State 67

Posted Mar 10, 2012
Friday, the talk concerning North Carolina point guard Kendall Marshall was all about his ability to pass the ball. Saturday, it was all about his clutch, calm demeanor, as he sank a bank shot in the final seconds to give UNC the 69-67 win over NC State. The win moves UNC into Sunday's ACC championship game. UNC struggled for most of the day stopping NC State in the paint without John Henson, who was out with a sprained left wrist. (ESPN.com)
