What Happened: Didn’t UNC Actually Win the 'Capel Shot' Game Against Duke?


By now, you've seen the replay. Endlessly. Whenever ESPN or any network needs an "anything can happen" moment, they cue up Duke's Jeff Capel heaving a shot 35 feet – right through the center of the basket. Pandemonium in Cameron Indoor Stadium. Dejected Tar Heels. Dick Vitale hollering until hoarse. Except...Duke didn't win this game. (Inside Carolina)
