UNC Goes From Sweet to Elite in Win Over Butler
Posted Mar 24, 2017
Theo Pinson called it. There was no denying North Carolina on Friday. The Tar Heels, with Joel Berry and Justin Jackson clicking, put forth too much for Butler to combat in a 92-80 victory in the South Regional semifinals to move within one win of returning to the Final Four. “I felt it coming,” said Pinson. “There was something I could just feel was going to be special.”
