If a cat has 9 lives the The North Carolina Tar Heels if they were that cat they used 8 of them in round 1. The Harvard Crimson the Ivy League Champions 2014-15 led by Stanford Lead Man Johnny Dawkins back court mate at Duke Tommy Amaker gives the 'Heels all they wanted and missed two open money balls that would have sent UNC Hoops home ending what many have been thinking a disappointing year for the 'Heels.
All-Ivy League performer and Harvard's #1 option Wesley Saunders had a game-high 26 points with his back court mate Slyani Chambers adding 13 points as Chambers missed two money balls under the 35 second mark. Saunders though had a nice look over the out stretched mitts of J.P. Tokoto and his went off the glass off the rim as time expired with the 'Heels escaping with a 67-65 win.
UNC freshman Justin Jackson dunked the game-winner as Tokoto hit a leaked out Marcus Paige who then delivered the pass to Jackson for the dunk at the 23 second mark putting the 'Heels up 67-65. Jackson led UNC with 14 points as Paige added 12 points and six helpers. Those 17 turnovers they have to clean up as they shot 55% and 5 for 7 from the arc.
The 'Heels now will get the winner of the Wofford/Arkansas Tilt on Saturday March 21st...
