Heeled After Halftime

Posted Feb 12, 2009
Duke's bonfire permit may have been revoked, but it was No. 3 North Carolina which ensured the No. 6 Blue Devils wouldn't be burning benches anytime soon.

Lawson, who scored 21 of his season-high 25 points in the second half to help them run away from Duke 101-87. (Duke Chronicle)
