DAYTON, Ohio Just as Reyshawn Terry’s 3-
pointer splashed through the net early in the sec
ond half, a frowning Roy Williams waved freshman
Danny Green to the scorer’s table to replace Terry.
Williams did not care about the shot’s result or
the two-point lead that it had given the Tar Heels
against George Mason. It was that Terry remained
in a shooting pose behind the arc —a spot from
which UNC had shot 15 times in the opening 23
minutes that most infuriated the coach.
But even with that message sent, the damage

UNC’s development plan, which was
submitted to the town Wednesday.

George Mason capitalized on UNC’s lowly 36-per
cent shooting from the field and a lack of inside
scoring to upset third-seeded North Carolina 65-
60 at the University of Dayton Arena on Sunday.
For the second straight time, the Tar Heels’ tide
defense ended the following year with a loss in the
second round. In 1994, Boston College knocked
North Carolina off the throne with a 75-72 defeat.
