Entering 'the lion's den': UNC-Duke 2001 and the peak of the Matt Doherty era

But Doherty and his players — Brendan Haywood, Jason Capel and Joseph Forte, among others — knew they were the group to buck that trend. The 85-83 win is the high-water mark of Doherty’s time coaching in Chapel Hill. (Daily Tar Heel)
