Lady Heels Beat #1 Duke

Posted Feb 26, 2006

Ivory Latta jumped on the scorer's table and raised both hands with one finger extended in the air, telling the crowd that North Carolina was No. 1. After Saturday's win, it would be hard to argue otherwise. Latta scored 18 points to help the second-ranked Tar Heels beat top-ranked Duke 77-65, giving North Carolina the ACC regular-season title and a likely return to the top of the national rankings.
