Carolina Appreciating Value of Every Game as Duke Game Looms Large

Posted Feb 18, 2014
The surging North Carolina men’s basketball team, winners of seven straight, will take center stage Thursday in prime time for a 9 p.m. tipoff in the Smith Center against arch rival Duke. One of the keys to the game will be how the Tar Heels fare from the free throw line. Head Coach Roy Williams says he was pleased with junior James Michael McAdoo’s improvement from the foul line.
