It was a dream-turned-nightmare in Durham for North Carolina tonight. The Heels looked outstanding in the first half of the game. Nothing like the team that played James Madison and lost 70-50 in the week prior.
They shut Duke down at every turn and held them scoreless through two quarters heading into the break up 17-0. However, that’s when the dream was too good to be true. Duke marched back and North Carolina crumbled.
Maalik Murphy and Duke mounted a 20-point comeback winning 21-20.
Here is what that loss looked like for North Carolina.
