UNC's Tyler Zeller takes tough loss with faith

Posted Mar 25, 2012
An opportunity to become the first North Carolina basketball players with two national championship rings ended Sunday for Tyler Zeller and Justin Watts. Both got to play a minute or so in 2009 at Detroit when the Tar Heels buried Michigan State in the title game. But the bid for doubles ended at the Edward Jones Dome in the 2012 NCAA Midwest championship when Kansas pulled away late and took an 80-67 win. (Raleigh News & Observer)
