Davis talks about sadness of Wilson’s injury, Heels’ path forward after loss - DURHAM — With no Caleb Wilson to keep Duke from blowing out North Carolina this time, the Tar Heels had no answers when the Blue Devils got rolling in the second half. A one-point game became 25 in a span of 13 minutes, as No. 1 Duke rolled to a 76–61 victory Saturday before a typically raucous Cameron Indoor Stadium crowd.

Hubert Davis said there is sadness and heartbreak over Caleb Wilson’s injury. But after a decisive loss at No. 1 Duke, he contended that the Tar Heels’ foundation is the same and that they “have more than enough to get it done.” #UNC

#UNC slices Duke’s lead to three with an 18–8 run, and the Blue Devils, who led by as many as 12 points, hold a 39–34 halftime lead. Henri Veesaar leads UNC with nine points and Cameron Boozer has 12 for Duke.

UNC can’t find enough offense down stretch against Louisville - North Carolina battled Louisville well in the regular-season meeting before falling in overtime, but the Tar Heels didn’t have enough offensive firepower down the stretch on Saturday at the ACC tournament. The No. 12-ranked and No. 2-seed Cardinals took control in the second half and eased to a 65–57 victory at the Gas South Arena in Duluth, Ga., for the Tar Heels’ third consecutive loss in the semifinals and second in as many seasons.

Without enough scoring down the stretch and little inside scoring punch, #UNC can’t overcome Louisville in the ACC tournament semifinals.
