Wednesday night was one of the greatest rivalries in sports history. North Carolina vs. Duke. The battle of the blues faced off in Durham, North Carolina. Duke was picked to win the game by 7 points. However, everyone thought it would be a much closer game. Duke is ranked #4, while UNC is ranked #15. Duke led by as many as 10 points in the first half. then UNC kept chipping away at the lead. Going into halftime, Duke led by 7. So it was certainly in reach for the Heels.
In the second half, the game went back and forth. The heels led by at most, 10 points. But Duke kept fight back into the game. Duke was up 90-89 with 31 seconds to play in overtime. North Carolina got the ball near midcourt before calling a timeout. Britt was fouled before the Tar Heels could even think about hoisting a 3. Britt then made the first free throw, and tried to miss the second attempt. Marcus Paige tried to go for the rebound but could not get ahold of the ball. Duke went on to win the game 92-90.
There is a rematch though, and this one is in Chapel Hill. So the Heels get another chance at the Blue Devils of Duke.

It’s funny. I do not really consider myself a sports person. However, you blogged about every major sporting event I have watched in the past few months! Radford is the best team we have faced all season and I am very concerned about them in the Conference Tournament. Hopefully, someone else knocks them out – since we seem to have a lot of trouble with that team. Normally, I am not a big fan of game-deciding calls in the last seconds of a game, but Winthrop had been getting away with over-the-back the entire game. I’m not worried about Winthrop this year, but they have many talented freshmen and seem to be doing some good recruiting. They will be a major force in years to come.
