In The End, Missed Free Throws Did In The Tar Heels


Free throws ultimately cost North Carolina in its 98-96 overtime loss to Duke in the Smith Center on Saturday night. The Tar Heels closed regulation shooting just 5-for-13 from the free throw line, including 2-for-9 over the last several minutes. This helped open the door to the Blue Devils in getting themselves back in the game as the time was winding down. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
