Duke lesson learned, Tar Heels take on Johnson, Miami

Posted Feb 14, 2012
As devastating as the Duke loss was, it served as a teaching point for the eighth-ranked Tar Heels, who travel to Miami Wednesday. “It was running through my head when I'm dribbling up the court (against Virginia),” point guard Kendall Marshall said. “I just kind of went, ‘Okay, we don't want the same thing to happen again. Just take care of the ball, try not to come up with empty possessions.'” (Durham Herald-Sun)
