COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Raymond Felton made the tiebreaking layup with 19 seconds left, and Sean May blocked a shot just before the buzzer as No. 2 North Carolina weathered a furious comeback bid by Maryland before escaping with an 85-83 victory Sunday.

May had 22 points and 11 rebounds for the Tar Heels, who remained alone atop the Atlantic Coast Conference with their fifth straight win.

Jawad Williams scored 21 points to help the Tar Heels (24-3, 12-2) beat the Terrapins on the road for the first time since 2001. It was also the second straight game the Heels were playing without leading scorer Rashad McCants. Fore more, go to Tar Heel Blue.
