Carolina can’t make the adjustments, free throws to beat Duke

Posted Feb 10, 2017

No. 18 Duke’s tough perimeter defense and screening action on its offensive end required additional challenging adjustments that the No. 8 Tar Heels didn’t make often enough in an 86–78 loss Thursday night at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
