Duke grinds past Carolina, 64-54

Posted Feb 11, 2010
This time, North Carolina had no shortage of desire. With Duke on the floor and Tyler Hansbrough watching, the Tar Heels scrapped and fought in a battle of a basketball game. But Duke had what mattered most – poise. The Blue Devils, unfazed by a Smith Center crowd thirsting for good news, made critical baskets in the stretch that yielded a 64-54 victory Wednesday.
