WASHINGTON, D.C. — With six minutes and change to go in the first half, Notre Dame’s Bonzie Colson made a layup. At that point, the North Carolina men’s basketball team led by one, 23-22.
And then UNC scored 18 straight points.
It was actually 24, if you count the three baskets after halftime. The Fighting Irish went the rest of the first half, and three minutes into the second, without a basket.
The Tar Heels owe their eventual 78-47 win in the semifinals of the ACC Tournament to that run.
