Post players lead Tar Heels past UNC Asheville

Posted Nov 14, 2011
Tyler Zeller will forever be a trivia answer. But the first men’s basketball player to score in the new Kimmel Arena and top-ranked North Carolina did not stop there Sunday. Zeller and the rest of the Tar Heels’ powerful front line wore down UNC Asheville in a 91-75 win and did so with surprisingly few signs of wear despite playing less than 48 hours earlier on an aircraft carrier on the other side of the country.
