UNC vs Gonzaga Fri 3-27 DUKEavs Villanova Fri 3-27 GREENSBORO, N.C. -- Jon Scheyer was falling out of bounds when he made a heady play to keep one loose ball alive. David McClure tipped another one to a teammate to deny Texas a last chance. Because Duke is doing all the little things right, some of the biggest things remain very real possibilities...sportsline.com GREENSBORO – Fans at the Greensboro Coliseum got exactly what they expected Thursday afternoon. North Carolina senior Tyler Hansbrough broke the ACC scoring record. Ty Lawson, the Tar Heels’ point guard, didn’t play because of an injured right big toe...newsobserver.com ATLANTA -- A year ago, as they walked off the court after another early exit from the NCAA tournament, Jon Scheyer and Gerald Henderson made sure to soak it all in. They didn't want to forget how much it hurt. They didn't want to forget how it felt to be denied a championship. On Sunday, they finally got their title...sportsline.com ATLANTA -- Duke, winner of seven of the last 10 Atlantic Coast Conference tournament championships, earned a shot at another title despite coming to Atlanta as a No. 3 seed. Jon Scheyer scored 22 points and the Blue Devils rode a 12-2 second-half run to beat Maryland 67-61 on Saturday in the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament semifinals...more sportsline.com ATLANTA -- Duke needed a second-half comeback and two misses in the final 20 seconds by Rakim Sanders to stay alive in the ACC tournament. Gerald Henderson scored the go-ahead basket with 34 seconds remaining and the No. 9 Blue Devils held on for a 66-65 victory over Boston College on Friday night...more sportsline.com ATLANTA -- The last time North Carolina came down to the wire against Florida State, Ty Lawson bailed out the Tar Heels. This time, all he could do was watch as two teammates missed. Toney Douglas outshined reigning national player of the year Tyler Hansbrough -- scoring 27 points, including the go-ahead free throws -- as the No. 22 Seminoles ended top-ranked North Carolina's quest for a third straight Atlantic Coast Conference tournament championship with a 73-70 upset in the semifinals Saturday...more sportsline.com And once again, Ty Lawson had a lot to do with that. Hansbrough scored 17 points and Lawson nearly had with a triple-double to help the No. 2 Tar Heels beat No. 7 Duke 79-71 Sunday, winning the league's regular-season title and earning the top seed in next week's ACC tournament....more sportsline.com Hansbrough's double-double helps UNC inch closer to ACC title BLACKSBURG, Va. -- North Carolina coach Roy Williams found himself asking his team the same question after it lost on the road at Maryland that fans were asking early in the season when the Tar Heels opened Atlantic Coast Conference play with consecutive losses. "Are we tough enough?" Williams said he asked the team at practice this week....sportsline.com Henderson, No. 7 Duke close strong to hold off Florida State DURHAM, N.C. -- Toney Douglas hit a big shot for Florida State. Gerald Henderson followed with an even bigger one, and then added another. The final moments of this meeting of two of the Atlantic Coast Conference's top scorers lived up to the hype, with Henderson scoring nine of his 21 points in the final two minutes to help No. 7 Duke beat Douglas and No. 24 Florida State 84-81 on Tuesday night...more sportsline.com BLACKSBURG, Va. -- Kyle Singler stood on the end line trying to inbound the ball late in a tight game and suddenly found himself reaching back for his days as a high school quarterback. Seeing Greg Paulus waving at him and wide open on the other end of the floor, Singler threw a long pass that Paulus took in for an easy layup on Saturday, one of several critical second-half plays for Singler that helped boost No. 7 Duke past Virginia Tech, 72-65...more sportsline.com Hansbrough had 28 points and 10 rebounds, and set the NCAA's career free-throw shooting mark in the No. 4 Tar Heels' 104-74 rout of Georgia Tech on Saturday...more sportsline.com Henderson, ninth-ranked Devils hold off No. 8 Demon Deacons DURHAM, N.C. -- Mike Krzyzewski usually hides his emotions pretty well on Duke's bench, but Coach K couldn't help himself for this one. He pumped his fist to fire up his players, then ditched the sportcoat that he's never seen without. "I told them, 'I'm not going to tell you we have to win it,"' Krzyzewski said. "'I'm going to tell you we're going to win it."' Then, Gerald Henderson went out and proved him right...more sportsline.com Vasquez vexes No. 3 Heels, posts triple-double in OT victory Vasquez had a career-high 35 points and 11 rebounds and 10 assists -- Maryland's first triple-double in 22 years -- and the Terrapins rallied from a 16-point deficit to shock No. 3 North Carolina 88-85 in overtime Saturday, ending the Tar Heels' 10-game winning streak...more sportsline.com Hansbrough nets 27, No. 3 Tar Heels continue dominance of Wolfpack CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- North Carolina once again had the high-scoring offense that hardly anyone can stop -- and the defense that struggled to get a stop itself. Sure, Tyler Hansbrough and the third-ranked Tar Heels had little trouble outscoring North Carolina State in an 89-80 victory on Wednesday night. But as they enter the final weeks of the regular season, they are still showing their up-and-down ways on defense that have them hearing questions about whether their D is good enough for a deep run in the NCAA tournament...more sportsline.com Lawson buries critical 3, helps UNC hold off Miami CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- Ty Lawson sniffled at his locker, still dealing with an illness he's fought for several days. He got well against Miami. North Carolina's point guard scored 17 of his 21 points in the second half, including the game-sealing 3-pointer with 10.6 seconds left, and the third-ranked Tar Heels held off a strong Hurricanes' comeback bid on the way to a 69-65 win Sunday night... DURHAM, N.C. -- After North Carolina sealed yet another victory for Tyler Hansbrough on Coach K's court, some Tar Heels celebrated by walking off with four fingers raised into the air. "I told our guys, 'The streak is going to stop at some time," coach Roy Williams said. "'Let's just put it off for another year."' Thanks to Ty Lawson, they did...more sportsline.com CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- Even national player of the year Tyler Hansbrough has his limits. That's where Wayne Ellington has been coming in for No. 3 North Carolina. Ellington scored 12 of his 20 points in the second half of his latest big game, helping the Tar Heels shake off a sluggish start and beat Virginia 76-61 on Saturday for their seventh straight win...more sportsline.com DURHAM, N.C. -- Everyone wondered how long it would take Duke to recover from its blowout loss at Clemson. It turned out the fourth-ranked Blue Devils needed about a half to find themselves again. Duke trailed by 16 points in the second half before Gerald Henderson and David McClure sparked a comeback to beat Miami 78-75 in overtime Saturday, sending the Blue Devils into next week's rivalry game against North Carolina with some restored confidence...more sportsline.com
