UNC 101, Duke 87

UNC and Duke played an intense game last night! I loved the results of the victory, and I wanted to point out the unsung heroes wearing the Carolina Blue Colors last night.

1. Bobby Frasor hit 3 3-pointers in a row in the first half. Bobby has game, and he will rise to the occassion. Although his shot has abandoned him during the season, his leadership has not waned.
2. Deon Thompson has been in a slump for a month and a half. Last night might be the beginning of the monster we had in November and December.
3. Ty Lawson is not only the quickest player wearing Carolina Blue, but he's the smartest. You can't teach instincts, and you can only hope that a player can read the opposing player's psyche. Lawson did just that in the 2nd half.

Give Duke credit--when they were on, they are unbeatable. They took the momentum from us in the last 10 minutes in the 1st half, coming back from an 11 point deficit to a 9 point lead. They have the best team concept in the league. I saw very little selfish play last night from the Blue Devils (same with UNC, too). Duke played a great game, and they will be successful for the rest of the season, too.
