Lawson, Heels drop Duke again

Posted Mar 9, 2009
UNC can check regular-season ACC champions off its list of "things to do." A 79-71 win over Duke in the traditional finale between the two rivals on Sunday gave the Tar Heels their regular-season crown. They'll pursue a third straight ACC title at the tournament in Atlanta in four days as the No. 1 seed. Ty Lawson's near triple-double, after almost missing the game with sprained toe, served as the difference in a tight game. (Raleigh News & Observer)
