UNC handles Duke.....ACC TOURNAMENT WEEK (finally its here!!!!)

The Big Game between then #5 Duke and #1 UNC lived up to the hype. A total of 12 former McDonalds All Americans participated in the game (13 if Bobby Frasor wasn't hurt). .Duke beat UNC on the road a month ago. UNC in turn beat Duke on the road on Saturday.. blah blah. It was actually a very good game as both teams battled to the end. Although the Heels were up by 11 at halftime everybody could sense a Duke run coming. Of course, at about the 5 and a half minute mark Scheyer put the Devils up 2 for the first time all game. This was then negated by a huge 10-0 Carolina run. The Devils would then miss several shots down the stretch and as Carolina would come away with the W. Sophomore two guard Wayne Ellington and Junior guard/forward Danny Green combined for 34 points while Junior forward Tyler Hansbrough chipped in 15 rebounds.

Duke 68 - Carolina 76
