The Tar Heels (20-3, 7-1 ACC) got everything they could handle from the Terps.
Alex Len scored 12 points, had nine rebounds and four blocked shots. This was his best game in my opinion since joining the Terps in late December. Sean Mosley and Nick Faust each scored 11 points for the Terps (13-9, 3-5 ACC).
Tyler Zeller scored 22 points and John Henson had 17 points and 12 rebounds to lead North Carolina.Harrison Barnes, playing on a sprained left ankle, scored 18 points.
Henson was a force during the last ten minutes of the game for the Tar Heels, scoring 12 points during that time period. Henson's basket on a goaltending call against Alex Len with 2:00 left gave the Tar Heels a five point lead at 74-69.
Kendall Marshall contributed 16 assists as the Tar Heels earned its fifth straight win and 14th in 15 games.
The game marked the first time that Terrapins coach Mark Turgeon faced his former mentor at Kansas, North Carolina coach Roy Williams.
Turgeon's Terps almost pulled off the upset but it wasn't to be as the Terps made just one field goal over the final three minutes. Ballgame Tar Heels.
