The Heels survived tonight’s game over Ohio State as much as they won it. The final few minutes were a lesson for North Carolina in taking care of business.

And then there was the last ten minutes. Up by nineteen the Heels proceeded to rack up eight turnovers, floundered against an OSU press, and stood by helplessly as Larry Drew went 2 for 6 from the free throw line over three consecutive possessions. By the time the smoke cleared, it was a two point game with eleven seconds remaining. Thankfully, an OSU foul before the inbounds play sent Drew back to the line, where he hit both shots to put the game out of reach. Still, I expect there will be a fair amount of yelling in the locker room before tomorrow’s Syracuse game.
