Entering 'the lion's den': UNC-Duke 2001 and the peak of the Matt Doherty era

Posted May 23, 2021
Fast forward to Feb. 1, 2001, UNC’s first shot at revenge and Matt Doherty’s first time in Cameron Indoor Stadium as head coach. But Doherty and his players — Brendan Haywood, Jason Capel and Joseph Forte, among others — knew they were the group to buck that trend. The 85-83 win is the high-water mark of Doherty’s time coaching in Chapel Hill. (Daily Tar Heel)
