NCAA Tournament: UNC 85 Providence 66

UNC pulls away from Providence in the second half to secure a trip to the Sweet Sixteen with an 85-66 win.

It was expected this game would be a tough test for the Tar Heels and the first half was very much that. Kris Dunn was as advertised with 10 first half points and a very tough cover for UNC. A pair of threes by Dunn cut into the UNC lead twice and the Heels led just 17-14 with 11:20 left. Dunn picked up his second foul just seconds later and after he subbed out the Tar Heels moved the lead out to seven with 10:56 left.
