Duke's First-Half Defense Leaves Tar Heels With Nowhere To Go

Posted Feb 2, 2025
When making passes through the defense, looking for driving lanes, or trying to get off a good shot, UNC's guards often had nowhere to go. The length of Duke's roster — the tallest in the country — bothered the Tar Heels to the tune of 14 turnovers and 13-35 shooting from its four starting guards. Duke's starting five had an average height of 6-foot-8. (Inside Carolina)
