Joel Berry has night to remember in 28-point performance against Duke

Posted Mar 6, 2017
By the time Joel Berry stepped to the free-throw line with 34 seconds in the game, the Tar Heels (26-6, 14-4 ACC) led by five and the 90-83 win was all but sealed. He hit the first from the charity stripe to give him seven points in the game’s final four minutes and 28 for the game. “Joel was unbelievable,” senior forward Isaiah Hicks said. “Something just lit up in him.” (Daily Tar Heel)
