North Carolina puts up fight late but digs too big of a hole at Duke

Posted Feb 1, 2025
Giving up height at every position, a daunting matchup for North Carolina turned into a nightmare, and the Tar Heels didn’t put up much of a fight until it was too late. Duke took control early and rolled to an 87-70 victory at Cameron Indoor Stadium on Saturday. UNC lost for the fourth time in five games as an NCAA berth starts to look out of reach.
