UNC vs Miami (March 11, 2011): Comeback from 19 down

UNC's comeback in its entirety, starting with 10 minutes left in the game. Commercials, timeouts and walking the ball up to halfcourt are edited out.

I remember my dad letting me leave school early to watch this game with him. I will never forget this game!

[@williamclark5056]

That is awesome! I remember watching this game at my grandparent's house, literally pacing back and forth in the living room haha

[@charrheel3659]

I was on lunch during the second half. It was awesome.

[@AL79ful]

That's awesome. Three years after you posted this, and nine years after it happened, this brings a smile to my face. Hope you and your dad are doing well. You guys will always remember this game. Go Heels!!

8:46. "That Maryland / dook game is always fun to watch." True, but you know what's more fun to watch? The dook / Lehigh game.

Any game that Carolina wins is good

[@YesCerr83]

one of the best teams in college bball history! no joke! look at unc from top to bottom. studs all over. if marshall didnt hurt his wrist, guaranteed national championship.

[@airwilson6]

Jr Cebbie I second that motion.

notion but yes!

+DirtyBirds 83 This was actually the year before Marshall's injury, but still the same core players.

[@danielgoss6367]

Scott Worley he came to life when Roy finally realized Larry drew sucked royal ass balls and sent Marshall in. It’s amazing how much one change can make or break a player but yeah fuck Creighton

[@cschnei08]

10:03. Classic Roy. Images that define Carolina basketball are Phil Ford signaling for four corners, MJ hitting the shot against Georgetown, Montross' bloody face against Duke, Stackhouse dunking in Cameron, and Roy Williams screaming his team on for a defensive stop.

[@lottidhundabolt4259]

Christian Schneider dont 4get Danny Green putting his nuts on Paulus face in Cameron. And Hansborough dunking on the 7'7 guy from some small college. That Wayne Ellington 3 to beat Clemson. I better stop i could be here all day lol

That would be Hansbrough's bloody face against Duke

I remember our sub let us watch the last few minutes of this game during school. Little 5th grade me and my friends were going nuts.

Was lucky enough to be at this game in Greensboro. First time I️ ever saw a buzzer beater at a Carolina game. What a comeback.

Haroon Gilani didn't mess up this year!

[@pissedoffgamer]

we got screwed in 2012 plain and simple

[@PastorJimmyParker]

Officials did not call a balanced game in the 2016 title game. They were so biased towards Villanova. 2012 would've been a Final Four for sure if Marshall hadn't gotten hurt.

[@jeremywade6986]

@@PastorJimmyParker 100% agreement. Kendall getting injured was for me the only reason they didn't make it. He was really playing at a high level. His shooting especially the 3 ball improved so much and his passing was always on point. That offense ran like a well oiled machine with him at point.

[@howardbaxter2514]

Jimmy Parker that’s facts. They would call ticky-tack stuff on Carolina all game, but allow Villanova to hack at our players.

[@BubbleBelly]

Man, I had the same adrenaline rush rewatching this as when I watched it live.

[@u2fan8117]

@cschnei08 IMO, another iconic image is Danny Green's dunk on Paulus in Cameron

[@jtgoheels]

A once in a lifetime year for Miami. As good as they were, this UNC team would have still destroyed them. Miami will never have a year like they did this year in a long time, if ever again.

[@Jake-rs9nq]

Miami made it to the Elite Eight this year!

[@st.christopher7614]

This was a game that you get chill bumps as a UNC fan....everytime we got the rebound down the stretch you felt it happening

[@Gonzoweirdo1]

I remember this game very well. Life was so different back then. I miss the ACC when it was like this. I wholeheartedly wish that the conference tournament was still like this. Sadly it’s kind-of gone the wayside especially with Greensboro but it’s coming there this year so we will see how exciting it will be..

[@HS32153]

Yeah this was a Friday afternoon game if I remember correctly. Tim Brant and the G-Man really were voices of the ACC.

[@Gonzoweirdo1]

@@HS32153 Plus, it was right after “The Price Is Right” on CBS after lunch after being let out after school instead of on ESPN2. Also, teachers still had the TVs on wheels kind-of.

thats why i love dex. he knew that without marshall, that play wouldve have happened. i met him this past week. hes awesome :)

[@cyclops65]

I actually started out watching this game at Chili's and left at the end of the first half because Carolina was so far down--I continued listening on the radio and for in my house with about 2 minutes left---the win would have been so much sweeter with an ice cold beer on tap--lol

Kendall Marshall what a talented passer. why he quit early?

[@Rick-wn5oh]

At 7 minutes they were down by 16 points. At 4 minutes they were one point down.

[@gynandroidhead]

If you watch the entire, unedited sequence of this, or any other comeback/choke, there is ALWAYS some, arbitrary point during that time where the team that's choking is either saying and/or expressing the body language of "oh crap.":

Awesome play call! Still wished that crew would've won a championship together...

Miami should not have won, they didn't deserve it they made so many mistakes in the last quarter of the game. Neither teams deserved to win, but UNC just came up on top when the final buzzer horned.

howd unc do the next day?

[@scottworley1479]

Why do the coaches of the other teams always try to dis Roy during the hand shake after Carolina beats them? They don't do that to Mike Kushewski. I've seen many do it some times try to keep walking as he holds his hand out to shake.

Only one guy went to go hug Marshall that's missed up he made the assist to win the game

Yeah, I guess you're right. That'd be hard to justify calling him on. It seems like he kind of sags off to the middle of the paint a good amount of the time though... I guess it's sort of subject to interpretation.
