 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) - Even before they heard coach Roy Williams hollering, Brandan Wright and his North Carolina teammates could tell they were in big trouble.
Down by 16 points early in the second half, the top-seeded Tar Heels suddenly shifted into another gear. Fueled by a huge run, they pulled off their biggest rally of the season and beat Southern California 74-64 Friday night in the East Regional semifinals.
"It was a fantastic comeback to say the least," Williams said. "I have a great deal of confidence in my team. ... I knew we wouldn't give up."
