Following a 101-87 thrashing of archrival Duke a few days ago, (3)North Carolina held off an inspired Jack McClinton-led Miami comeback to hang on to a 69-65 win.
All-American junior Ty Lawson hit consecutive clutch treys late in the game to keep surging Miami at bay. He finished with 21 points with 15 coming from beyond the arc.
With (6)Duke losing to Boston College, the Tar Heels (23-2, 9-2 ACC) increase their ACC lead to two games. If it weren't for UNC's consecutive losses to start the regular season, the conference race might have been all but wrapped up by now.
