Top-seeded UNC overcomes slow 1st half to beat Iona in NCAAs
North Carolina completed a perfect first round for top seeds in this NCAA Tournament, but not before Iona became the latest No. 16 seed to show these matchups are no sure thing.
Adam Rittenberg ESPN Senior Writer
North Carolina outscored Iona 55-35 in the second half to prevent any threat of an upset. The Heels got big lifts from veterans Cameron Johnson (16 second-half points) and Luke Maye (10 second-half points) as well as a very encouraging effort from freshman Nassir Little (19 points in 17 minutes). Iona was completely reliant on the 3-pointer to take a 5-point halftime lead. Once the Gaels went cold from 3-point range -- they missed 13 of their first 14 attempts of the second half -- they were finished.
Adam Rittenberg ESPN Senior Writer
North Carolina with the start it needed to begin the second half, hitting six of its first nine shots to outscore Iona 15-5. Luke Maye and Cam Johnson are both heating up for the Tar Heels, while Iona's perimeter shooting has cooled off. The Gaels are just 1-of-5 in the second half, all from 3-point range.
Adam Rittenberg ESPN Senior Writer
Iona leads No. 1 seed North Carolina 38-33 at halftime after hitting 10 3-pointers and committing only four turnovers and six fouls. The Gaels backcourt of Rickey McGill and Asante Gist have 23 points and seven 3-pointers between them. North Carolina's tournament experience has yet to show up, as Luke Maye and Kenny Williams are a combined 4-of-15. Other than outrebounding Iona 28-16, UNC isn't doing anything well.
Adam Rittenberg ESPN Senior Writer
North Carolina's freshmen are doing their part, as Nassir Little and Coby White have combined for 16 of UNC's first 27 points. But the Tar Heels haven't stopped Iona's perimeter shooting, as the Gaels are 7-of-15 from 3-point range, including 3-of-3 from senior guard Rickey McGill.
