Duke's Huge 2nd Half Roll Over UNC, 79-73
-Nolan lit up and Curry stepped up as Duke poured on the offense and smothered some D at the other end to come from 14 down at the half to beat UNC .
-Smith ended the night with a career high 34 pts, with 22 of those coming in the 2nd half to lead all scorers.
-Seth Curry stepped up with a season high 22 points on 8 for 12 shooting.
-Duke hasn't won from such a large deficit (14 at the half) in over 50 years when they erased a 14 pt hole against Navy in 1959.
-Duke extended its NCAA-best winning streak at home to 33, and Smith called this one—and not last April’s victory over Butler for the program’s fourth national championship—the biggest of his career.
“This comeback win, how tough we were, how together we were and how great it feels now, I don’t think anything can be better than this,” Smith said.
