Missed opportunity 'hurts so much' for Tar Heels after blown lead at Duke

Posted Feb 10, 2011
The Tar Heels, after seizing a startling first-half lead, degenerated during what became critical second-half stretches and ultimately missed an opportunity to knock off the Blue Devils on Wednesday night. Tyler Zeller, chewing on a towel draped around his shoulders, glanced up at the scoreboard as the final ear-splitting seconds ticked off and rowdy Cameron Indoor Stadium celebrated Duke’s 79-73 victory.
