Duke Dumps Tar Heels, 89-78

Posted Feb 7, 2008

Duke, for the second straight year, scored a knockout in Chapel Hill. Last year, Duke freshman Gerald Henderson broke Tyler Hansbrough’s nose in a UNC win that will be long remembered for that moment. Henderson was back in the Smith Center Wednesday night, and was booed heartily by the crowd of 21,750 when he was the third Duke player introduced. (WRAL.com)
