Heels get defensive in 2nd half
Posted Feb 12, 2009
The way North Carolina can score, the Tar Heels don't have to play great defense. It only has to be good enough. For five minutes of the second half, it was good enough to slow Duke on a night the Blue Devils started out like they were never going to miss. It was good enough to give North Carolina its fourth straight win at Cameron Indoor Stadium and the inside track for the ACC title.
