Rapid Reaction: Texas 85, North Carolina 67

Posted Dec 19, 2012
Against Texas, the talent and playmaking was there for North Carolina, but the first-half hole they dug was just too deep. Texas led by as many as 19 in the first half. North Carolina cut it to four with under 8 minutes left in the game, but never managed to get any closer as UT quickly pushed the lead back to a comfortable 10 with less than 2 minutes left.
