Tudor: Austin Rivers turned the tide for Blue Devils

Posted Feb 9, 2012
Austin Rivers turned Wednesday night into an instant Duke-vs.-North Carolina basketball classic with a single shot. But in reality, it was more than just the game-winning jumper that Rivers launched over Tyler Zeller at the final second of Duke’s 85-84 win in the Smith Center. That one shot by Rivers will be remembered for ages and get a high perch in rivalry lore. (Raleigh News & Observer)
