Duke wins defensive struggle at UNC

Posted Feb 11, 2010
With rival North Carolina leading by four points Wednesday night and Duke’s best defender sidelined, coach Mike Krzyzewski made a strategic change that helped the Blue Devils recover and win. Krzyzewski brought Andre Dawkins off the bench to give Duke a three-guard lineup and moved Kyle Singler from small forward to power forward. That opened the lane for the decisive moments in a 64-54 Duke win at the Smith Center. (Raleigh News & Observer)
