Things looked a little bleak for UNC late in the game against Syracuse on Tuesday night. The Tar Heels found themselves down by two points with less than 90 seconds remaining following a quick 5-0 run for Syracuse. Pete Nance got to the line and made the first of his two free throws to make it a one-point game. He then missed the second one.
Fortunately, Syracuse’s Joe Girard batted the ball back in bounds, almost right to Nance, and Nance laid it in to give Carolina a one-point lead with 19 seconds remaining. As the Tar Heels got back on defense to try and fend off a buzzer-beater from the Orange, freshman Judah Mintz bulldozed RJ Davis.
