UNC-Duke rivalry produces another thriller in Durham

Posted Feb 19, 2015
The best rivalry in college basketball delivered one of the most entertaining games of the season. In the second half, the visiting Tar Heels erased what was once a 13-point deficit. In the final four minutes of regulation, the host Blue Devils erased a 10-point deficit, which ended with a Tyus Jones game-tying layup with 30 seconds remaining in regulation. And overtime was, well, intense. (Sporting News)
