North Carolina's often-overlooked backcourt got the best of Miami's talented guards, not to mention proved it can help the third-ranked Tar Heels overcome an off performance from their vaunted front line. Dexter Strickland scored 14 points while Kendall Marshall added 12 -- both season highs -- to help the Tar Heels beat Miami 73-56 on Tuesday night, North Carolina's latest easy win in a monthlong homestand filled with them.
