It made us turn the ball over. I also felt at times in pressure situations, we lost our composure. I feel like we helped them. But Baylor\u2019s a great team. They\u2019re the defending national champions and did not want to go home. They stepped up their effort, but we stepped up our effort as well.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Tar Heels jumped out to a quick lead in overtime on a three-pointer from Dontrez Styles, and were 6-8 from the free throw in the extra period to advance to the Sweet 16.
