Carolina beats Duke, wins ACC regular-season title
Posted Mar 9, 2009
More than 21,000 fans filled the Smith Center Sunday and watched No. 2 North Carolina beat No. 7 Duke, 79-71, to sweep the season series and capture the ACC regular-season championship. But the vast majority of them stayed long after the game to witness the Senior Night speeches by the seven graduating Tar Heels. In past years, the speeches caused relatively few fans to stick around, but this year’s Senior Night differed.
