Duke is up 3 at half


Would you expect anything more than the first half of Duke and UNC.

Carolina’s RJ Davis is so explosive and fast, as he leads the Tar Heels with 14 points.

Duke’s Paolo Banchero looks like no one can stop him when he goes to the basket, as he had 10 points.

Both teams started out a little tight but it still has been a fun, fast paced game. Big story might be the foul trouble for Duke’s big men. Mark Williams has only played the first 4 minutes of the game because he got 2 quick fouls.

Theo John came off the bench and gave Duke an instant spark. He scored 6 points of some big dunks, and added an amazing save that led to a layup. But he also ended up getting four fouls trying to stop UNC big man Armando Bacot, as Coach K left John in to avoid his starter picking up his third foul.

So that could be a huge story in the second half. Williams is rested having only played 4 minutes – but can he avoid fouls in the second half, because his backup only has 1 foul left.

It looked like we would go into the half tied, but Jeremy Roach made a great drive to the basket to score and get fouled. Roach hit the free throw and gave the Blue Devils a 37-34 lead.

Should be a great second half.
