Tar Heels labor to 73-65 OT victory over Ohio

Posted Mar 23, 2012
North Carolina escaped the Edward Jones Dome with a 73-65 overtime victory over Ohio, advancing to the Midwest regional final on Sunday. When the Tar Heels returned to their locker room, they skipped their usual mosh-pit celebration. This was relief, not joy, and the Tar Heels huddled for a cathartic group hug instead. “I thought I was gonna fricken pass out,” Roy Williams said. (Kansas City Star)
