Title: Duke at North Carolina Post by: Catch Prothro on February 09, 2012, 07:51:14 AM This was a great basketball game last night, and another come-from-behind victory for Duke. Trailing by 10 points with 2 1/2 minutes left, Duke played well-disciplined basketball and never gave up. Finally getting the lead down by 1 with 14 seconds left, Duke fouled, NC only hit one free throw, and without any timeouts left Duke player Austin Rivers dribbled down the court, backed a few steps off the three point line (he was being guarded by a 7 footer) and sank the 3 as time expired for a 1 point victory.

These games should be teaching material for coaches to show their players that the game isn't over until the clock expires.

I turned it off with about 5 minutes to go because Duke looked very hopeless at the time but I guess I should have hung around until the fat lady sang.

1. Both teams are loaded in talent (not news); 2. UNC lost the game by missing their last free throw; 3. LF liked the outcome.
