Smith, Curry rally Duke for 79-73 win over UNC
Posted Feb 10, 2011
Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said it wasn’t an X and O thing. Senior guard Nolan Smith – after one of his most spectacular games at Duke – said no mechanical adjustments were necessary. After trailing by 16 points in the closing seconds of the first half to a determined North Carolina team, Duke’s players calmed down and dug deeply to find the spirit and strength for a 79-73 win over UNC.
