Tar Heels force OT with buzzer beater, beat Ohio State 89-84

NEW YORK -- Pete Nance made a jumper at the buzzer to force overtime, R.J. Davis iced a much-needed victory for scuffling North Carolina with two late free throws, and the Tar Heels beat No. 23 Ohio State 89-84 on Saturday in the CBS Sports Classic.

Armando Bacot had 28 points and 15 rebounds and Caleb Love scored 22 for North Carolina (8-4), which is trying to right itself after a four-game losing streak - all away from home - knocked the preseason No. 1 team out of the Top 25 two weeks ago.
