In what could be considered by some a down year for the Heels, this surely wasn’t a down game.

Led by senior Leslie McDonald, the Tar Heels took down the 9th ranked Blue Devils 74-66. McDonald had a game high 21 points on 9-of-12 shooting.

What makes this win so significant is it was the first time in AP Poll history that a team had beaten the preseason top four teams all in the same season.

They defeated Michigan State, Louisville, Kentucky, and then Duke.
