Kennedy Meeks capped off his career night with an offensive rebound that helped North Carolina hold off Oregon 77-76 and return to the NCAA championship game, where its title hopes got dashed at the buzzer last season. Meeks, a senior, matched his career high with 25 points. But it was his 14th rebound that saved Saturday night's game for North Carolina (32-7). (Associated Press)
