Today In NCAA History: UNC 86, Washington 83

Posted Mar 20, 2014
John Henson spent most of his three seasons making life difficult for opponents trying to inbound the basketball. Never, however, was it as decisive in a key game as it was against Washington in the 2011 round of 32. The Huskies had led by as many as 11 points in the first half and five points in the second. But a Tar Heel rally put UNC ahead with 4:06 left on a Harrison Barnes three-pointer. (GoHeels.com)
