UNC bounces back from Duke loss, thrashes UM

North Carolina showed on Saturday afternoon why it's a top-five team in the country.

Or, at least, why it has that potential.

The Tar Heels didn't let that frustrating home loss to Duke on Wednesday linger into the weekend. Roy Williams' fifth-ranked club blew out No. 11 Miami, running away early and basically turning the second half into an exhibition. The Heels won 96-71 and in doing so, put on their best performance of the season.

It goes down as a 25-point win that felt like a 50-point blowout. Brice Johnson had another gnarly game, going for 16 points and 15 rebounds.
