The Miami Hurricanes blew a 19-point second half lead in a 61-59 loss to the North Carolina Tar Heels in the quarterfinals of the ACC tournament.
With just under nine minutes to play, it looked as though the Hurricanes might waltz into the semi-finals and pull off the biggest upset of the day.
However, the Hurricanes seemed a bit overanxious, taking a lot of bad shots and making poor passes to allow the Tar Heels to roar back in a short period of time.
Miami then watched in horror as Tyler Zeller made a layup as the clock expired to lift the Tar Heels to the improbable victory.
Malcolm Grant lead the way with 16 points, five assists and four steals. Three other starters scored 12 points to display a balanced scoring attack.
