ACC Defensive Player of the Year John Henson was fouled hard on a first-half drive, hurting his left wrist. He did not play after halftime, but the injury to the Tar Heels’ star is not believed to be serious.
UNC (28-4) beat Maryland for the third time this season and advanced to face the winner of Virginia-NC State.
The Tar Heels led 36-26 at halftime, then Reggie Bullock opened the second half with consecutive 3-pointers. James Michael McAdoo’s driving dunk made it 44-26. Maryland cut it to seven but got no closer.
Maryland (17-15) waits to see if it will get an NIT bid. ACC leading scorer Terrell Stoglin nailed his first four shots and finished with 30 points.
