UNC topples No. 1 Duke

Posted Mar 5, 2006

North Carolina's precocious freshmen earned another victory on the road, in perhaps toughest setting. They ruined Senior Night at Cameron Indoor Stadium. Tyler Hansbrough scored 27 points, fellow rookie Danny Green came up with the key defensive stop and the 13th-ranked Tar Heels held off No. 1 Duke 83-76 Saturday night in the final home game for J.J. Redick and Shelden Williams. (Raleigh News & Observer)
