Duke Beat North Carolina Last Night in Chapel Hill

[Joneslab]

Kind of a surprising score, though in that rivalry weird things tend to happen.

Matt Jones got injured in that one too, so Duke was basically playing with the same five guys for a good part of the game.

North Carolina was 1-13 from the three point line. Not sure they're legit title contenders with the way they shoot the ball.

And as others have said, Texas Tech beat Oklahoma and Alabama beat LSU in Baton Rouge.

College basketball.

I has to be the officials fault.

How does UNC shoot 1-13 from three with Marcus Paige in the lineup?

Paige has had a disappointing year. Shooting around what he did as a freshman, averaging 12 or 13 points...he's slid into the background behind UNC's frontcourt players. And that's a tendency for Roy Williams: he loves big men and will feed them at times even if he's got superstar guards out there.

Brice Johnson had a huge game for UNC. Apparently they quit going to him down the stretch and that probably got them beat as much as anything.

Crazy basketball season, anything can happen. At times our team has proved that i can elevate and play as good as anyone in the country. If we gel and click when it counts, we stand as good a chance as any team in the country. We may be missing some key pieces but name another team in the country with a more steadier point guard than Tyler Ulis. If Poythrees can get back and contribute and other guys continue to step up, this team of ours can be in the hunt.................

What generally gets Carolina beat is that Williams doesn't care about defense. You can get away with that if you have outlandish talent, but this team doesn't. One freaky player, three or four other good ones, that's about it.

Roy's teams will routinely give up 85+ and they'll try to score 90. Playing with fire if that's your philosophy.

Good game for sure, but the UNC-dUKe jockfest continues. College basketball is bigger in this State than anywhere else, and by a large margin.The ratings bear this out. That is a stat the idiots at ESPN refuse to tell you. If you can find me a bigger or better rivalry than UK-UL, then I would swear you were on something. There is none. It's not close.

Has it really been much of a rivalry since Cal has been here?

Shhh...You are diluting my point.

They aren't a good outside shooting team either.

Shocking since the game was at UNC....but Duke winning is good for UK......Lord Did I just say this

[Matt Dillon]

Is this the year of the upset, or is it just parity?
