Second half
It's pretty clear that Carolina intends to run at every opportunity -- even after Duke baskets. The Tar Heels tried after the first Blue Devil hoop and got one themselves, but the Devils have done a better job of recovering in the past three minutes.
DeMarcus Nelson's hustle play to deflect a pass on the break and disrupt a planned transition hoop is the sort of thing that may define and determine this one.
Duke 50-41 at the under-16-minute time out.
