Looking back at Marvin Williams' game-winner against Duke 20 years later

Posted Jan 30, 2025
Roy Williams gets chills talking about it. The date was March 6, 2005, when No. 2 UNC trailed No. 6 Duke, 73-71, with 19 seconds remaining. Raymond Felton was at the foul line with a chance to complete a 9-point comeback in the final three minutes. Marvin Williams' putback tip fell through the net as the referee's whistle blew. The Smith Center exploded. (Daily Tar Heel)
