GREENSBORO, N. Harrison Butker Jersey .C. -- Talib Zanna had 19 points and a career-high 21 rebounds to help Pittsburgh beat No. 15 North Carolina 80-75 in the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament quarterfinals Friday. James Robinson also scored a career-best 19 points for the fifth-seeded Panthers (25-8), who used a dominating start to build a huge lead before having to hold off a late rally by the fourth-seeded Tar Heels (23-9). Pittsburgh led by 20 points with 7:22 left before UNCs frantic comeback behind Marcus Paige, who scored 20 of his 27 points after halftime before fouling out with 25.4 seconds left. UNC got it to 78-75 on Nate Britts jumper with 11.4 seconds left but couldnt complete the comeback. James Robinson knocked down two free throws to make it a two-possession game again right after Britts score, then Lamar Patterson rebounded a hurried 3-pointer by James Michael McAdoo with 4.3 seconds left to essentially seal it. Now, after a dominating performance in Thursdays second round and a bumbling-but-successful finish Friday, the Panthers will face sixth-ranked and top-seeded Virginia in Saturdays semifinals. Zanna, a 6-foot-9 fifth-year senior, came within two rebounds of tying the single-game tournament rebounding record that had stood since 1959. He fouled out with 1:03 left. Zanna had 10 offensive rebounds -- one shy of UNCs team total -- and helped Pitt control the boards while taking a 21-6 edge in second-chance points against a team that was third in the league in rebounding margin for the regular season. With all those point-blank extra looks off offensive rebounds, Pitt shot 52 per cent for the game. North Carolina spent all day trying to recover from a terrible start. It missed 16 of 19 shots and fell behind 25-8, though its late comeback at least gave them some hope of sticking around Greensboro a little longer. North Carolina shot 42 per cent, though much of that production came after Pitt had built a 61-41 lead on Josh Newkirks three-point play midway through the second half. The Panthers have won five of six to pull out of a three-game losing streak that started to threaten their NCAA tournament chances, with this ranking as probably their best of the year. Now the Tar Heels are suddenly struggling. The Tar Heels started 0-3 in the ACC and stood at 1-4 before running off 12 straight wins, including a home win against Pittsburgh, to earn a top-four seed and double-round bye that came with it. But UNC didnt play well in the final two games of the streak and lost at Duke to close the regular season last weekend, sending them into Greensboro coming off their first loss since Jan. 20. The rebounding trouble was particularly alarming for UNC considering it managed just 20 rebounds in last weekends loss at Cameron Indoor Stadium. During one demoralizing second-half stretch, Zanna tipped in offensive rebounds on consecutive possessions and had 17 rebounds to UNCs 16 with nearly 14 minutes still left. Greg Olsen Jersey .com) - Matt Beleskey has helped give the Anaheim Ducks some scoring depth and hell look to stay hot on Wednesday night when his club hosts the struggling Philadelphia Flyers. J.J.

Of course that doesnt mean hes ignoring it. Thats actually rather impossible given the behind-the-scenes access to the Toronto Maple Leafs the network is getting. "Its not normal what were living right now," Carlyle said Friday. "These people are professional people, they try to make it as easy as possible. But its not easy to sit and give a team meeting and have a team meeting with a camera and a microphone. Its just not normal for us. Weve never had to do that." Its a whole new world the Leafs and Detroit Red Wings have been living in during the lead-up to the Winter Classic. Carlyle had his reservations about the intrusiveness of the process before the camera crew arrived, but he has also justified it as part of the deal that comes with being in Toronto. Working through it is the challenge. "Ive talked about white noise and Ive talked about distraction and this is just another one for us," Carlyle said. "Its hard in some ways to blame people for not paying attention to it or not being attached to it, but on the other hand, we have a job to do." A few players said they werent bothered by the HBO cameras after getting used to their presence earlier this month. "Theyre pretty good at hiding and staying in the background," defenceman Carl Gunnarsson said. Fozzy Whittaker Jersey. Goaltender James Reimer agreed, pointing out that his job and those of his teammates arent affected nearly as much as Carlyles. "I think its, honestly, worse for the coaches," Reimer said. "For us we just kind of do what we normally do. I dont think it does disrupt too much, but I think when youre talking and giving the team whatever if its a pump-up message or just talking about the game and having the camera right in your kitchen, I think its honestly more awkward and harder for them than it is for us. "I know that if I had to talk to a team with a camera in my face, that would be more distracting." In addition to praising the professionalism of HBO employees, Carlyle said theyve respected his privacy when he requested it. "But its just not normal," he added. "Its not a normal everyday thing that were accustomed to, and it does take some getting used to." Unlike Carlyle, Reimer watched the first episode last week and enjoyed it. As for not helping Carlyle with his toaster dilemma, a talking point in the first episode, the Leafs goaltender didnt feel too badly about it. "I didnt know what to do, either," Reimer said. "I didnt know what was going on. It was above my education level." Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Cheap Jerseys 2019 Jerseys NFL China Discount NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping Cheap JerseysStitched Jerseys ' ' '
