Duke had a chance to win the ACC regular season Sunday with UNC visiting Cameron but couldn’t quite pull it off as the Tar Heels won 45-40.
Duke was up in the fourth quarter but UNC rallied with a 16-6 run to deny Duke the regular season title which will now go to Notre Dame instead.
Duke had 25 turnovers, including nine by the normally steady Celested Taylor. Taylor also shot just 2-10 and had four fouls.
The Blue Devils barely had more defensive rebounds - 26 - than turnovers.
It was just a terrible time to have a terrible game and of course they lost to a terrible opponent.
