Top moments in 20 seasons of UNC vs. Duke

Posted Mar 7, 2013
5. Bloody Hansbrough (UNC 86, Duke 72, March 4, 2007): Tyler Hansbrough was dominant, scoring 26 points and grabbing 17 rebounds to lead the Tar Heels to victory. It was a performance punctuated by a “shot” he took with 14.5 seconds remaining. Unfortunately for the ACC Player of the Year, this shot wasn't a game-winner, but rather, an elbow to the face by Duke's Gerald Henderson. (Wilmington Star News)
