Tarheels lose...

Well those darn "Dukies" took round 1 of the annual UNC/Duke rivalry, with a 87-83 victory at Chapel Hill. The team did a nice job of coming back from a 17 point second half deficit, but in the end it was too much JJ Redick - as he hit a few clutch jumpers to seal the win for the evil empire.

These games are always close - no matter the caliber of the teams involved and where there rankings are. This years Heels were a bit outmatched, but I was hoping they would play the kind of inspired basketball they had demonstrated against Clemson, and they did... but being in such a huge hole they only able to make t close and not able to come away with the victory.

We still have one more shot at them on March 4th, at Camron Indoor, and that always seems to bring out the best in the Heels.
