UNC Basketball Video: Watch Tyler Zeller's Game-Winner Against Miami
We've got a UNC basketball video that's making the rounds today, courtesy of Tar Heels star forward Tyler Zeller, who hit our first game-winning shot of the day against Miami in the quarterfinals of the ACC tournament.
The Tar Heels struggled mightily in the first half against the suddenly surging Hurricanes, and trailed by nine at the break.
But, midway into the second half, that deficit grew to 19 points as North Carolina continued to flounder against Miami's zone defense, struggling to generate the interior offense that helped them become the hottest team in college basketball in the second half of the season.

Slowly but surely, though, the Heels would rally, using four three-point baskets over two minutes of game time to cut the deficit to just 55-51 with just five minutes remaining.
Zeller would take over from there for the Heels. After a Leslie McDonald jumper, Miami would turn the ball over and Zeller hit a layup, then another, then eventually a third to tie things up with just 48 seconds to go.
Miami thought they could take the lead, but the Canes turned the ball over yet again, as Adrian Thomas coughed it up with 22 seconds left, plenty of time for the Heels to set up their final shot.
As the clock ticked down, Kendall Marshall drove the lane, looking like he would take the shot. A Hurricane defender left his feet to block the shot, so the cagey freshman quickly flipped a pass to Zeller, who stood waiting next to the basket.
Zeller elevated and hit the easy layup as time expired, giving North Carolina their first lead of the game, and a surprising win in the ACC tournament. Zeller finished with 13 points and nine rebounds, as the Tar Heels advance to face the winner of the Boston College-Clemson matchup in the semifinals tomorrow.
