UNC men's basketball eyes revenge, ACC championship against Duke

Two plays, that’s all the North Carolina men’s basketball team had time to watch in the two days following its 74-73 loss to Duke.

With a crucial home game against Miami, trips to N.C. State and Virginia, and Monday’s regular-season home finale against Syracuse all on the horizon, the Tar Heels couldn’t wallow in how the game played out at the Smith Center on Feb. 17.

They couldn’t think about the eight-point lead they held with less than seven minutes left. They couldn’t reflect on Brice Johnson's lack of touches, or their inability to stop Grayson Allen and Brandon Ingram.
