Latest classic brings out the best in both UNC, Duke
DURHAM – North Carolina’s improving young basketball team showed the rest of the ACC and the nation just how far it has come Wednesday. Duke, however, showed the Tar Heels how far they still have left to go to eclipse the defending national champions as the league’s top team.
In the process, the Blue Devils learned a little something about themselves, too, by rallying from a 14-point halftime deficit for an inspired 79-73 victory against their hated arch-rival at a steamy Cameron Indoor Stadium
It was a classic Duke-UNC confrontation in every sense of the word, as Blue Devils coach Mike Krzyzewski proclaimed afterward.
And yet, as many rash generalizations and blanket statements that are likely to be made about the outcome – and the way it came about – the high-energy shootout was nothing more than an entertaining prelude for what may still lie ahead.
Both teams took major steps forward in their development as they make the turn into the second half of the ACC season.
