How they got to the Sweet 16: North Carolina

Posted Mar 23, 2015
The Tar Heels had a close game early against Arkansas. But this time around, the Tar Heels did not have to sweat out a last-second victory, the way they did against Harvard in the previous round of the NCAA tournament. After the teams battled back and forth for the first 30 minutes of the game, UNC pulled away behind another terrific second-half performance from Marcus Paige. (ESPN.com)
