It was fun, it was dramatic, but Duke, UNC both still have a long way to go

Posted Feb 9, 2012
No matter how bad things might seem after a disheartening loss, especially one of the dramatic variety, the world isn’t going to end for a college basketball team when it’s still early February. It didn’t for Duke on Sunday when it missed six straight free throws in overtime to lose to Miami. It won’t for North Carolina, either, even after Austin Rivers’ 3-point dagger at the buzzer stunned the Tar Heels Wednesday night. (Wilmington Star News)
