If there were ever a time for UNC to show up at its best, tonight was it. The deck was stacked against them with all of the fanfare in Cameron Indoor for Coach K’s final game, but the Tar Heels never gave up from the tip to the final horn for a 94-81 win. Playing spoiler on this night of all nights just feels extra sweet.
You really cannot say enough about the job the starters did in this game. With the exception of Armando Bacot, who had to sit for large chunks of the first half because of foul trouble, they had to shoulder the load for nearly all 40 minutes.
