The fourth-ranked Blue Devils were the gang that couldn’t shoot straight, particularly early, as No. 6 UNC beat them 88-70 to win the ACC men’s basketball regular-season championship. The rematch, with the ACC regular-season championship and the ACC Tournament’s No. 1 seed on the line, saw Duke miss its first seven 3-pointers and finish 6 of 21 (28.6 percent). (Durham Herald-Sun)
