75-73!!!


What a game! Just when I thinking, "F***! Not again!", UNC pulled off a great come from behind win in the biggest rivalry in sports. UNC-Dook, it just doesn't get any bigger than that. College basketball's version of the great glory days Lakers-Celtics rivalry. With 3 mins left UNC trailed 64-73. Last year we would have folded, but not these Heels. These Heels have some fight in them. The freshman, Marvin Williams had been schooled all day by Duke senior Shelden Williams. But when it counted most, Marvin won the game with rebound and made the biggest shot of his life. It was one for the ages. Duke had 2 more chances as Reddick and Ewing both narrowly missed game-winning and game-tying shots. UNC 75 Duke 73. To come back and go on a 11-0 run to close the game is awesome! We got lucky, but luck is when preparation meets opportunity and we put ourselves in a position to win. Oh, what I would have given to be back at Dook to payback everyone who gave me grief during our 8-20 season. It's humbling to have to go through that, but even sweeter to make it all the way to the pinnacle of the basketball world.
