How the South was won


Well, I'm glad I actually picked a game right or all those Duke fans would be making fun of me today. If y'all don't remember I picked Carolina to beat Duke at Duke. Now some people laughed, but it seems like i got one right.


Of course whenever these two tobacco road powerhouses play, there is excitment. Carolina dominated nearly the whole game until a Duke rally eventually tied the game. Duke pretty much just lined up long range cannon Greg Paulus who showered threes at the Tar Heels before eventually falling silent in the second half.


For those who watched, Carolina's defense was much improved over the first game..and oh yeah they had Lawson back. Ty Lawson, who missed the previous meeting with a sprained left ankle, finished with 10 points for the Tar Heels, who claimed their first victory in a winner-take-all regular-season finale with Duke since 1985. They captured their 26th regular-season conference championship and third in four years under Williams, and have won three straight at Cameron for the first time since 1994-96.


And once again, Hansbourgh and company ruined senior night for the Blue Devil. Maybe J.J Redick should start a support group. I'm sure he would have lots of members.
