Madison Square Garden is where Tar Heels go to nearly have a heart attack. After Pete Nance's buzzer-beater to send the UNC basketball program to overtime against Ohio State two years ago, it was time to get those pulses raised and palms sweaty again, this time with UCLA.

The North Carolina basketball program did what they do best again. Fall behind by double-digits to a ranked team before charging to a second-half comeback. This time, though, they did not fall short, taking the lead for the first time in the second half with just 13 seconds left in the game.

If you've peeled yourself off the ceiling already, let's dive into some lessons learned from UNC's tough win over UCLA in the CBS Sports Classic.
