Friday marks the second and final day of the Sweet 16 in the 2012 NCAA Tournament. Two of the teams currently duking it out for the right to advance to the prestigious Elite Eight are the No. 1 North Carolina Tar Heels and the No. 13 Ohio Bobcats. At the end of the first half, the Tar Heels are ahead, 29-22

North Carolina threatened to open up a big lead and let the game get out of hand for Ohio, but the Bobcats were able to battle back and stay in it. They will need to regroup in a big way and get more of their shots to fall in the second half to keep alive their dreams of a national championship.

Tyler Zeller is having a huge game for UNC. Through the first half, he already has a double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds.
