Heels bounce back with solid effort against Virginia
NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
02/11/2012 -
Chapel Hill, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tyler Zeller had 25 points and No. 5 North
Carolina got a bounce-back, 70-52 win over 19th-ranked Virginia on Saturday.
The Tar Heels (21-4, 8-2 ACC) pulled away in the second half, wiping away the
taste of Wednesday's last-second loss to Austin Rivers and Duke, which snapped
their 31-game home winning streak.
Zeller added nine rebounds to lead North Carolina against Virginia, while
Harrison Barnes scored 14 points with 11 boards. John Henson also posted a
double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds.
Mike Scott led Virginia (19-5, 6-4) with 18 points and Jontel Evans had 12.
Reggie Bullock scored all five of his points during a 12-2 North Carolina run
in the second half, which gave the Tar Heels a double-digit lead for the rest
of the game.
Zeller had four points during the spurt, but Bullock led the way, knocking
down a three that made it a 13-point game. Moments later, Kendall Marshall's
jumper gave North Carolina a 61-46 lead with 6 1/2 minutes left and the
Cavaliers were never within single digits afterward.
Earlier, though, it was a different story.
Virginia missed its first five shots of the game, but made its next seven to
take a 16-9 lead. Scott hit back-to-back jumpers after two straight Tar Heels
turnovers, capping a 9-0 run and forcing North Carolina to call a timeout.
The Tar Heels then scored the next nine points, holding Virginia scoreless for
around five minutes while they took an 18-16 lead. Zeller's 14 points in the
first half helped North Carolina lead 35-32 at the break. Scott and Evans had
10 points apiece for the Cavaliers in the first half.
Game Notes
North Carolina has won seven of its last eight games against Virginia and
leads the all-time series 126-49, including a 64-6 mark in Chapel Hill (22-3
at Smith Center). The teams will meet again on February 25 at Virginia.
