NEVER TAKEN THIS JOB. >> WRAL SPORTS STARTS NOW. WANTED BY EASTER AUTOMOTIVE SINCE 60'S AND SAYS THE TAR HEELS OF PLAYED FOR AN ACC CHAMPIONSHIP. BUT 8 YEARS SINCE THE ACTUALLY LAST ONE AT TONIGHT IS A CHANCE FOR THEM TO GET BACK TO THAT TITLE GAME. THE ONE SEED UNC. >> TAKING ON THE FOUR-SEED PIT. >> EARLY IN THE GAME CLOCK WINDING DOWN. QUARTERBACK RYAN LETS IT FLY AND IT RATTLES IN HIS ONLY 3 POINTS OF THE NIGHT. THE WORRY OTHER PEOPLE STEPPED UP TO CONTROL. MOST OF THE 1ST HALF HAD A BIG TIME GAME FROM THEIR FRESHMAN CARLTON CARRINGTON, THE COLUMBUS. HE HITS THE BIG TIME 3.24 POINTS AS HE LED THE WAY FOR THE PANTHERS ITS LEADING SCORER. BLAKE HINSON ONLY HAD 5 POINTS IN THIS GAME CLASSIC. YOU WOULD SEE RIGHT HERE GET THE REBOUND. SPRINT DOWN THE COURT SCORE AND 7 SECONDS OR LESS. 19 POINTS FROM AND OBEY CAUGHT AND OF COURSE, COACH ROY WILLIAMS IS THRILLED AND TO STAY IN 2ND HALF HEELS TOOK OVER IT SO THAT THIS GUY GAME-HIGH 25 POINTS FOR RJ DAVIS, THE HEELS HEAD TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME. 72 TO 65 KASEY GETS AFTER THE GAME. >> CHRIS, AS TIME WAS WINDING DOWN IN THE GAME, ARMANDO BACOT AND RJ DAVIS EMBRACED RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. MONDO SAID IT WAS JUST PURE EXCITEMENT HAS JUST GIVEN THE YEAR WE HAD LAST YEAR, EVERYTHING THAT WE'VE BEEN THROUGH. WE'VE WORKED SO HARD TO GET TO THIS POINT AND NOW TO THINK THAT THEY CAN CUT DOWN THE NETS HERE TOMORROW NIGHT. THE BOY PITT WASN'T GONNA LET THAT ONE GO EASY. IT WAS A BATTLE TONIGHT. THE PANTHERS WERE THE MORE PHYSICAL TEAM OUT OF THE GATE. BUT MIDWAY THROUGH THE 1ST HALF OF TAR HEELS WERE ABLE TO PUT THE PRESSURE ON AND THEN JUST LIKE THEY HAVE THIS ENTIRE SEASON, DAVIS AND PUT THIS TEAM ON THEIR BACK. >> AND CARRY THEM TO THE FINAL BUZZER. THESE 2 COMBINED FOR 31 POINTS IN THE 2ND HALF, INCLUDING THE FINAL 16. >> I'M JUST SHOWS HOW MUCH OF A TEAM WE ARE AND I WAS DOING WE ARE YOU SET GOALS AND BEGINS HERE AND FOR US WE GAME LANEY'S LABOR JOBS. NOTHING IS COACH IS PLAYERS. WE'VE ALL BEEN LOCKED AND WE'VE BEEN A FAMILY AND I MEAN, IT'S JUST BEEN A FUN RIDE. SO IT'S OF ALL WHAT A CHAMPIONSHIP WOULD BE HUGHES. AND THAT'S BEEN ONE OF BIGGEST THOSE ISSUE WE'VE SEEN PITS BLAKE HINSON LIGHT UP A LOT THIS YEAR IN THE CONFERENCE. BUT TONIGHT HE WAS HELD TO JUST 2 FIELD GOAL AND HE WAS BEING GUARDED BY HARRISON INGRAM. >> HE SAID I TOOK THAT MATCHUP PERSONALLY. THEY PUT HIM ON
