North Carolina Slips Against Maryland, 89-87

Posted Feb 26, 2007

Down by 12 points against No. 5 North Carolina with just over 7 minutes left, Maryland never abandoned hope of a comeback. Perhaps it's because the Terrapins had already overcome so much this season. D.J. Strawberry scored a career-high 27 points, Mike Jones had 18, and Maryland rallied to beat the Tar Heels 89-87 Sunday and extend its winning streak to five games. (Tar Heel Blue)
