North Carolina Tar Heels withstand ejection, rally to oust Baylor Bears in NCAA tournament

FORT WORTH, Texas -- North Carolina may have lost Brady Manek to an ejection in the second half, but the Tar Heels withstood a furious rally to beat the top-seeded Baylor Bears 93-86 in overtime in the NCAA tournament on Saturday.

Baylor, the defending champions, trailed by as many as 25 points in the second half and was attempting to tie the largest comeback in NCAA tournament history.

The Bears tied the game 80-80 on a 3-point play with 16.7 seconds remaining, and the Tar Heels missed a shot at the buzzer to win it.
