The storied rivalry between Duke and North Carolina, particularly on the hardwood, has long been considered the greatest in the history of college basketball.
One could point to a number of players, coaches, individual games or moments involved in the rivalry’s rich history, but few are as memorable as the events that happened in the closing seconds of a game that took place in Chapel Hill more than a decade ago.
With North Carolina in control of the game and the clock winding down, Tar Heels’ power forward Tyler Hansbrough rebounded a missed free throw and attempted a quick put back in a lane crowded with Duke defenders.
