The Duke Blue Devils (20-1, 8-0 ACC) snapped a three-game losing streak to the Tar Heels, winning on the road at Chapel Hill, 89-78.
North Carolina (21-2, 6-2 ACC) played without stud point guard Ty Lawson who was out with a high-ankle sprain. All-American Tyler Hansbrough led the Heels with 28 points and 18 rebounds.
Hopefully, UNC will have Lawson back once the game shifts to Durham in a couple of weeks.
Duke should keep its number 2 rank following this win. I don't see North Carolina slipping off their third-place ranking because they lost to a higher-seeded team. But I will not be surprised if they fall to 4th or 5th in the polls.
