North Carolina is going back to the Sweet 16 after pulling away to beat Providence 85-66 on Saturday night.
The top-seeded Tar Heels and ninth-seeded Friars were playing a tight game before North Carolina started pulling away about midway in the second half.
The Tar Heels got the win in front of a loud home-state crowd. They were playing in the arena of rival North Carolina State, roughly 30 minutes from the Chapel Hill campus.
