At the half

Duke owns a 39-34 lead at halftime behind perfect (9-for-9) foul shooting and contributions from three surprise starters -- Brian Zoubek, Gerald Henderson and Jon Scheyer.
Zoubek, who had played only 41 minutes in nine previous ACC games, blocked two shots and claimed two rebounds in five minutes. Henderson hit an early 3-pointer and delivered eight points and Scheyer gave Duke 14 points in the first 16 minutes.
Carolina, averaging 88 points a game, is on pace for 20 fewer than that number.
Among Duke's keys has been the ability to halt Ty Lawson's dribble penetration.
Nobody will be shocked if it goes down the final minutes, as five of the past six contests between the two have.
