The second and final day of the Sweet 16 takes place Friday. The fourth round of the 2012 NCAA Tournament leads directly to the Elite Eight, as the competition heats up and the field of contenders for a national title gets ever narrower. One of Friday night's games pits the No. 1 North Carolina Tar Heels against the surprising No. 13 Ohio Bobcats, who are trying to be this year's Cinderella story. Midway through the first half, North Carolina is sporting a healthy lead in a low-scoring affair, up 19-8 at the 10:00 mark.
For the first few minutes of play, the teams matched another basket for basket, although both teams were having some issues scoring. While the score has stayed low, North Carolina has been more consistent from the floor and more stingy on defense. The Tar Heels have six turnovers against just two from Ohio, but they are still leading midway through the first half. UNC's Tyler Zeller already has eight points.
