Showing tremendous poise, (3)North Carolina rose from the dead to turn back upset-minded Boston College, 90-80.
Carolina (27-2, 12-2 ACC) was looking for its sixth straight win since losing to heated rivals Duke, but BC's Tyrese Rice has other plans in mind. He scored 46 points anchored on 8 of 12 shooting from rainbow territory to carry the Eagles to double-digit leads for much of the game.
The Tar Heels used a 32-8 run to turn a 17-point deficit into a 76-69 lead in a span of 11 minutes.
Tyler Hansbrough, UNC's All-American junior, topscored for the Heels with 25 points.
With topranked Tennessee losing to (16)Vanderbilt last week, expect North Carolina to snatch the number 1 ranking when tomorrow's polls are released.
