Posted Mar 5, 2011
Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said there was no question that the Blue Devils were going to have to make 3-pointers Saturday night to defeat North Carolina. So when Blue Devil players not named Seth Curry combined to go 0-for-16 from 3-point range, it was easy to understand how No. 4 Duke lost 81-67 at the Smith Center with the ACC regular season championship on the line.
