CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- It wasn't hard for Roy Williams to recap what changed between his team's first two matchups with Duke, which ended in dominant North Carolina victories, and what transpired Friday night, with the Blue Devils edging out a 74-73 win that might well have shifted the pecking order for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament.
"The guy that's been hurt came back," Williams said, "put on his Superman jersey and was incredible."
"The guy" in this case would be Zion Williamson, and North Carolina heard its share about him even before he took the court.
