Blue Devils defense will win game

Posted Feb 11, 2009
Duke and UNC torched Maryland, but Duke allowed only 44 points. Those same Terps scored 91 against the Tar Heels. The Blue Devils might not have anyone who can handle Tyler Hansbrough inside, but they do a better job of denying the entry pass than anyone else, and they're not going to get caught off guard when North Carolina wants to run. It's going to be tougher sledding for the Tar Heels than they might expect. Duke 78, North Carolina 76. (Charlotte Observer)
