UNC completed the regular season sweep against Duke. You knew that. What you might not realize, though, is how they did it.
I mean, how they really did it.
Basketball is a game of runs. Sometimes those happen on offense with quick scoring bursts. Other times, defensive runs strangle opponents. UNC had both kinds on their way to winningon Saturday night.
The second half consisted of three big runs. North Carolina started with a 12-4 spurt, went on an 11-0 explosion after the under-12 media stoppage, and then held on as Duke went on their own 10-0 run in the closing minutes.
