North Carolina Tar Heels Use Second Half Surge to Bury USC
TransWorldNews (press release), GA - 3 hours ago
The number one seeded North Carolina Tar Heels used an 18-0 run in the second half to overcome a 16-point deficit and beat the number five seeded USC Trojans 74-64 and advance to the Elite Eight in the NCAA Tournament.

The Tar Heels trailed most of the first half but Reyshawn Terry pulled them to within one, 34-33, with 4:05 left on the clock. That’s when the Carolina collapse began as USC closed the half on an 8-0 run and led 42-33.

USC then opened the second half with the first seven points and their lead was 49-33 on the struggling Tar Heels. North Carolina chipped away and were able to get within eight but the Trojans pushed it to ten with 11:16 remaining. From that point on it was all North Carolina.

Big win for the Tar Heels, who advance to the Elite Eight. This team's better than I thought they were.
