UNC's Joel Berry struggles, takes blame for loss to Duke

Posted Mar 4, 2018
There are no do-overs between North Carolina and Duke. As much as Joel Berry would like to, he can’t get Saturday’s 74-64 loss at Duke back. The senior guard was hyper-critical of his performance in the Tar Heels’ second loss of the week. “I played scared as (heck) and that’s just not me,” Berry said. “I’m a confident dude. I just didn’t play my game tonight.” (Charlotte Observer)
