Carolina big men too much for Duke

Posted Feb 7, 2007

Tonight UNC will travel to Duke, focused far better than they were Saturday and ready to send the host Blue Devils to their third straight loss. Why will the Tar Heels win? Quite simply, they’re a better team with more offensive weapons. Carolina’s biggest advantage comes down low, where Tyler Hansbrough and Brandan Wright give the Tar Heels an inside combination the Blue Devils can’t match. (Fayetteville Observer)
