Heels Throttle Marshall Posted Dec 23, 2009 An early theme of the 2009-10 season has been the brutal runs that No. 10 North Carolina has had to endure in its three losses. On Tuesday night against Marshall, the Tar Heels turned the tables and blew open a tight contest with an 18-0 second-half spurt to defeat the Thundering Herd, 98-61. (Inside Carolina)
