No. 20 UNC holds on to beat Miami behind Deja Kelly’s 18 points, clutch free throws

That vexing pattern of No. 20 North Carolina building a big lead and giving most of it up nearly burned the Tar Heels on Thursday night. But Deja Kelly made four free throws in the final 15.7 seconds after UNC blew a 13-point fourth-quarter lead before holding on for a 66–61 win, the Heels’ fourth in a row. The Tar Heels remain tied for the ACC lead with Syracuse. (Tar Heel Tribune)
