It was a close game — probably closer than it should have been — but UNC did what they needed in order to keep their NCAA Tournament dreams alive in their 70-63 win over Louisville on Monday. The score stayed remarkably close until the final couple minutes when Carolina was finally able to pull away for good and send the Cardinals to their eighth loss in their last nine games.
The Tar Heels closed the game on a 6-0 run that coincided with a scoring drought of nearly three minutes for the Cardinals. The game was really won right there.
