A class of their own

Posted Feb 12, 2009
Right before the opening tip, North Carolina’s starting five sat side by side on the bench as Duke introduced its lineup. No one said a word. No one expressed any emotion. Just blank stares as they readied themselves for the prime-time fight set to begin. And ready to play they were. All five scored at least 12 points to lead No. 3 UNC to a 101-87 win at Duke, securing the school’s first four-game winning streak at Cameron Indoor Stadium since 1982-85. (Daily Tar Heel)
