Rapid Reaction: UNC 77, Vermont 58

Posted Mar 16, 2012
Instant analysis from UNC-Vermont: Unlike the ACC tournament final last weekend, the top-seeded Tar Heels didn’t even bother to have starting forward John Henson (who missed his third straight game because of a sprained left wrist) in uniform in case of an “emergency” situation. And despite some sloppy play early, they didn’t need their 6-foot-11 ACC Defensive Player of the Year to advance. (ESPN.com)
