When, the Tar Heels lost Tyler Hansbrough, Ty Lawson and Wayne Ellington the Tar Heel's repeat hopes were drowned until the team reloaded. With a tough strength of schedule they had fallen to No. 13 in the nation now playing No. 18 Georgia Tech, who had already beat Duke this season. Georgia Tech had a strong inside game led by Derrick Favors. But, it was Iman Shumpert (right) who provided the spark in the 73-71 win. Shumpert had 30 points. Will Graves had 24 for the 'Heels.
Purdue had moved up to No. 4 in the nation and an undefeated record until Wisconsin beat them and they fell to No. 6 in the nation. Next, still in Big Ten play it was Ohio State who had a late run as guard Evan Turner dominated. Now, against Northwestern, the Boilermakers were bound to get a win, right? Wrong. Guard Michael Thompson scored 20 points and the 'Cats won 72-64, despite E'Twaun Moore's 24 and Robbie Hummel's 20. That's now three straight as the Boilermakers take on Illinois next.
