UNC won’t dwell on loss

Posted Mar 10, 2013
North Carolina missed its first 11 3-point tries and finished 1-for-14 from behind the arc in the 69-53 loss to third-ranked Duke. It was a big step back for a team that had gone 6-1 since making P.J. Hairston a starter in a smaller lineup while rebuilding some confidence that looked lost a month earlier. “We can’t dwell on it,” senior Dexter Strickland said. “We can’t let this shoot our motivation down or our confidence down.” (Salisbury Post)
