UNC-Maryland Quotes

Rob — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 04:20:51 +0000

We really felt good in the locker room, that was a good win and we hit some tough shots down the stretch. The other night we couldn’t hit anything but we won the game because of our defense and rebounding. Tonight we made some shots down the stretch and at the same time I thought it was our best defensive game in the second half.”

No. 5 Tar Heels Hold Off Maryland, 83-74

Rob — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 23:29:42 +0000

Tyler Zeller scored 22 points, John Henson had 17 points and 12 rebounds, and No. 5 North Carolina rallied from a nine-point deficit in the second half to squeeze past Maryland 83-74 Saturday. The Tar Heels (20-3, 7-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) got all they could handle from the upstart Terrapins, who didn’t lead over the final nine minutes but never let North Carolina get comfortable down the stretch. UNC star Harrison Barnes, who sprained his left ankle Tuesday against Wake Forest, scored 18 points on 5-for-15 shooting. He started slowly but was instrumental after Zeller picked up his fourth foul with 11:44 to go.
