Tar Heels win again, off to their best start since 1983-84


The University of North Carolina Tar heels posted their 18th win in a row with a 83-82 victory over the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, but not the smooth sailing win everybody expected. Georgia Tech yellow jackets gave an inspiring play in an attempt to upset the top rank tar heels but their best is still wasn’t enough.

With the game tied at 82, Danny Green, Tar Heel’s super sub grabbed a rebound from a Georgia tech missed shot and in doing so was fouled with 22 seconds remaining, Green hit 1 of his 2 foul shots which proved to be the final score. But Green was not finished yet, he blocked the supposedly game winning shot of tech’s Zack Peacock. Peacock recovered the ball but still missed his last shot.

Tyler Hansbrough UNC’s Junior All American finished with 27 point and 11 rebounds. He continuously pounded the ball through the basket and had 15 free throws making 13 of them.

This is UNC’s first win in Atlanta since coach Roy Williams return to Carolina prior to the 2003-04 season.
