North Carolina Gets Back on Track for ACC Title with Blowout Win over Miami

North Carolina has more than enough talent to be the best college basketball team in the country, and that potential was back on display against Miami on Saturday afternoon.

Before the game began, CBS' Ian Eagle and Bill Raftery were the final contributors to the days-long narrative that North Carolina might suffer from a bit of a hangover after its letdown against Duke on Wednesday night.
