Young UNC gets credit for staying with Duke

Posted Feb 8, 2006

I've said many times that the North Carolina-Duke games are part of the best rivalry in all of sports. Tuesday night in Chapel Hill lived up to that billing. Roy Williams is my choice for ACC Coach of the Year, and this was another reason why. This year's squad scrapped and clawed and went to the wire with the Dukies. This Tar Heels club has already won 14 games when many naysayers predicted tough times. I feel they can make some noise come NCAA Tournament time as well. (ESPN.com)
