Duke edges North Carolina, 71-70
DURHAM, N.C. — Duke slowed the pace and made North Carolina play a halfcourt game. Under those circumstances, nobody plays better defense than the Blue Devils.
J.J. Redick scored 18 points, freshman DeMarcus Nelson added 16 and No. 7 Duke forced 23 turnovers to hold off the second-ranked Tar Heels 71-70 Wednesday night. North Carolina squandered a chance to win in the final seconds, never getting a shot off after inbounding with 18 seconds left.
