UNC Senior Starters:

Brandon Robinson

Armando Bacot

Garrison Brooks

Leaky Black

Cole Anthony

First Half:

14:51: first media timeout and UNC is one point behind Duke, 12-11. Black leads the scoring for UNC with a clutch 3 pointer brining the Heels within 3.

Halftime:

Second Half:

Brandon Robinson hasn’t returned to the court. I’m sure he’s in concussion protocol. UNC pulls within 3 and currently on a 5-0 run, brining them to 44-41. Soon after, Duke responds with a run of their own with Justin Robinson taking the charge and dropping a couple of threes. Update: Brandon Robinson being reevaluated and possible to return. 

Cole Anthony finally with a bucket since the 7:51 mark in the first half. Carolina desperately need another scorer outside of Brooks.

Seems like the refs don't want to give UNC any looks on the foul side. They cant catch a break or any momentum. 

Duke wins, 89-76.
