FORT WORTH, Texas — North Carolina went from cruising into Philadelphia and the Sweet 16, to looking like it’d suffer the biggest collapse in program history, to finally winning in overtime with a lineup it’s never played with all season.
The No. 8 seed Tar Heels defeated No. 1 seed and defending national champion Baylor, 93-86, in perhaps the wildest game of the NCAA Tournament so far.
The Tar Heels led 67-42 with 10:08 in regulation when the game changed on one foul. UNC forward Brady Manek, who scored 26 points and had four 3-pointers, was ejected from the game after getting a flagrant-2 foul called on him.
