duke 87, north carolina 83

Josh McRoberts and JJ Redick celebrate with a chest-bump after the win


As Dick Vitale says, "Awesome, baby!" and another "Maalox Masher" game from the Dukies last night! With Duke leading by 17 in the second half, North Carolina clawed and scratched their way back into the lead with three minutes to go. You have to admire the way the Tarheels came back from that huge deficit. But once again, JJ Redick made the shots when they were needed and Duke was able to win again. It was interesting to watch the North Carolina coach take his starting five players and bench them after they fell behind by 17 points. UNC Coach Roy Williams said after the game, he was so mad that if he had not taken them out of the game right then, he might have been charged with assault and battery! Looking forward to the next game this Saturday at 1:00 pm, Duke travels to play the Maryland "Fear the Turtle" Terrapins. It's gonna be another close one!!
