COLLEGE BASKETBALL SHOCKER: Tar Heels Topped By College of Charleston

The 9th ranked North Carolina Tar Heels headed down to Charleston, South Carolina and ended up with a big fat "L". The College of Charleston stunned North Carolina in overtime 92-79.

Even C of C head coach Bobby Cremins didn't expect this. Coach Cremins was expecting to lose by double digits. Instead his Cougar team pull off a stunner.

"When I look back on my career, I will remember this moment forever," said C of C head coach Bobby Cremins.

The Tar Heels were short handed with starters Marcus Ginyard and Will Graves out with sprained ankles and with out their contributions North Carolina couldn't close the deal.

North Carolina was up 72-61 with 4:02 left in regulation and you would think ball game. Well that's when things didn't follow the script as College of Charleston went on a 12-1 run to force overtime.

This is by far the biggest win for the Cougars in the Bobby Cremins era. As for the Tar Heels they open ACC play at home against Virginia Tech Sunday night. I'm willing to bet the Hokies believe they can get a win in Chapel Hill.

Here's the highlights and post game from WCIV-TV in Charleston, SC
