Ragged from the start and physically outmatched by Louisville throughout first half, North Carolina got their stuff together after the break. Going zone to defend the Cardinals in the second half made the biggest difference in North Carolina's 70-60 ACC Tournament quarterfinal win. Brice Johnson overcame an abysmal first half to finish with 22 points, leading him to tell reporters "I manned up." (WRAL Sports Fan)
