Miami Hurricanes at North Carolina Tar Heels stats

The #9 North Carolina Tar Heels hosted the unranked Miami Hurricanes on Senior Day (which this year also fell on James Worthy's birthday), and the result was as wild and as memorable as one you could imagine.

Officials quickly determined the shot came in time after looking at a replay, though UNC coach Roy Williams was already shaking hands with Newton and the Hurricanes before the call was official.

North Carolina fans had horror flashbacks on Tuesday night when Miami senior Ja'Quan Newton hit a deep buzzer-beating 3 to upset the No. 9 Tar Heels 91-88 on UNC's Senior Night.

Seventh Woods, Brandon Huffman and Garrison Brooks react during their loss to the Miami Hurricanes.

Playing the role of Marcus Paige was Joel Berry, whose heavily contested game-tying 3-pointer with 4.1 seconds to go appeared as though it as going to send Tuesday's game to overtime.

The Tar Heels (22-and-8, 11-and-6 ACC) finish their season Saturday night at Duke.

Newton had 15 points in the game and made his only 3-point attempt count.

We've got to find creative ways to get better. "We were just coming off the high, and so, we haven't really discussed it". Longtime NFL punter Donnie Jones has announced his retirement from the league after 14 seasons.

A win on Saturday, March 4, 2018, over the Duke Blue Devils could secure a two seed in the ACC tournament the following week for the Heels in the event of a tiebreaker.

Said Berry: "I am stunned".

Cameron Johnson added 20 points on 7 of 10 shooting, while Luke Maye added a double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds for the Tar Heels (22-8, 11-6), who had their six-game winning streak snapped.

Newton hit both ends of a 1-and-1 with 9.2 ticks remaining before Berry's 3-pointer with 4.1 to play tied it.

North Carolina wasn't as effective in turning points into turnovers - 11 points from turnovers, compared to Miami (FL)'s 20. His steal and three-pointer gave UM's its largest lead at 59- 43 and he finished with 18 points and four assists. I spoke with three confident young men who would help chart the course for the next great era of Carolina men's basketball history, coming to Carolina when they did and doing what they did.

According to oddsmakers at YouWager, North Carolina is favored at home tonight, as the Tar Heels are getting odds of -10 points against Miami. - Daniel Gafford had 21 points and 10 rebounds to lead Arkansas to its sixth win in seven games. Miami pushed the ball upcourt for Newton's shot over Berry, then the Hurricanes immediately mobbed Newton near midcourt. Huell hit two with 2:51 left to make it a 5-point game.

The most-glaring stat when all was said and done; converting from the free throw line.
