The North Carolina Tarheels came into Cameron Indoor Stadium in a renew level of confidence, feeling they had the strength and depth to overcome Duke. When the two teams hook up it's always thrilling. All of Raleigh, NC and Chapel was watching. The stands were packed as usual. The 79-73 win over the Blue Devils was capped off by a 19-point 9 rebound performance from Brandan Wright and a modest 16-point effort by Tyler Hansbrough. The game close until the about 2 minutes remaining.
UNC didn't take the lead until the 5 or 6 minute mark in the second half. Both teams played an up and down pace, but it was Carolina's depth off the bench which gave them an extra boost of energy. Coach K stuck to his first unit for most of the game and it was clear they got fatigued late when possessions mattered the most. The freshman, Jon Scheyer played a heck of a game, finishing with 26 points. However, that wasn't enough. With the win, UNC moves to 21-3 overall and 7-2 in the ACC. They still have their work cut out for them this weekend. Can't wait to see what happens!
