Tar Heels With A Little More Magic

Freshman Harrison Barnes has
played well in the tournament
averaging 29 pts. per contest.

The North Carolina Tarheels was able to overcome a 17-point deficit against the Miami Hurricanes on Friday afternoon and found that magic again Saturday.

North Carolina scored the final seven points of regulation against the Clemson Tigers to force overtime. Junior forward Tyler Zeller, who hit the game-winner against Miami as time expired, put in the game-tying field goal to force the extra-period. The Tarheels scored the first nine points of the overtime period, led by freshman Harrison Barnes' career-high 40 points, to secure a trip to the ACC title game.

Carolina is the No.1 seed in the tournament and seventh ranked team in the country. Head coach Roy Williams is looking to capture in his second National Championship in three years, but will have to get by a familiar face, Mike Krzyzewski, in the ACC tournament before he can do so.

If Duke is able to take care of business later against Virginia Tech, who has beaten the Blue Devils already this season back in February by a score of 64-60, we could have the greatest rivalry in college basketball meet for a third time this season.

North Carolina looks to have Cinderella's glass slipper on their heel heading into the NCAA tournament.
