12/20 17:43 CST Seth Trimble returns to lead No. 12 North Carolina past Ohio State 71-70 Seth Trimble returns to lead No. 12 North Carolina past Ohio State 71-70 By PAUL NEWBERRY Associated Press ATLANTA (AP) --- Henri Veesaar scored the winning basket on a dunk with 7.2 seconds remaining off a pass from a stumbling Seth Trimble, and No. 12 North Carolina held off Ohio State 71-70 on Saturday. Trimble, playing his first game since breaking his left forearm in a Nov. 9 training mishap, wanted to shoot but tripped as he spun into the lane. As the senior guard was falling, he dished the ball to Veesaar, who slipped past his defender for the emphatic slam. Ohio State had two chances to pull off the upset. John Mobley Jr. missed a 3-point try, only to have Devin Royal grab the offensive rebound under the basket. He went back up ahead of the horn, but Caleb Wilson blocked the shot to preserve the win for the Tar Heels. Trimble, who played with a wrap covering much of his left arm, and Veesaar both finished with 17 points. Wilson led North Carolina (11-1) with 20. Trimble also did a stellar defensive job on Ohio State star Bruce Thornton, who was held to 16 points on 7-of-16 shooting. He came into the game hitting 60.2% from the field. Royal led the Buckeyes (8-3) with 18 points. Mobley put Ohio State ahead on a 3-pointer with 48.7 seconds to go, also drawing a foul that made it a four-point play for a 70-67 lead. Trimble hit a drive in the lane to cut the margin, and Jarin Stevenson made a steal as Ohio State tried to get the ball into the frontcourt to set up the winning basket. It was the second game of the CBS Sports Classic at State Farm Arena in Atlanta. Kentucky defeated No. 22 St. John's 78-66 in the opener.

Up next Ohio State hosts Grambling State on Tuesday. North Carolina is back in Chapel Hill to face East Carolina on Monday. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season.
