GLENDALE, Ariz. — Oregon's magical postseason run ended Saturday in the Final Four, as North Carolina used a late first-half run to grab momentum and then held off a late rally by the Ducks to win, 77-76, before 77,612 in University of Phoenix Stadium.
North Carolina (32-7) missed four free-throw attempts in the final six seconds but rebounded the second miss both times — two of 17 offensive rebounds by the Tar Heels in the game. UNC finished with 19 second-chance points, and scored 20 points of 16 turnovers, the most by the Ducks in six weeks.
