Heels get a second chance

Posted Jan 17, 2007

A veteran backcourt. A deep bench. An up-tempo style. An inspired road crowd. Fourth-ranked North Carolina has faced a similar situation before -- just four days ago, when it lost at Virginia Tech. As the Tar Heels prepare to play at No. 19 Clemson tonight, their goal is to avoid a similar outcome. "It could be a second chance," sophomore forward Danny Green said Tuesday. "If we play like we played the last four or five minutes of the game at Virginia Tech, we know it will be no contest." (Raleigh News & Observer)
