Recap: Duke 74, UNC 73

Posted Feb 17, 2016
For much of the game UNC looked like the better team but never could quite open the lead up enough. Duke hung around and in the end stole a win in Chapel Hill for a fourth straight win in the series 74-73. Brice Johnson finished with 29 points and 19 rebounds but just one basket over the final eleven minutes. Justin Jackson was UNC's only other player in double figures with 13. (Tar Heel Blog)
