ACC Basketball: UNC Falls to Miami as Duke Bounces Back Against Pittsburgh - Is Reese Okay?
Reese, Pam and Alex discuss Duke’s strong bounce-back win over Pittsburgh, UNC’s surprising loss to Miami and what these results mean for the Tar Heels’ season moving forward.
The No. 4 Duke Blue Devils defeated the Pittsburgh Panthers 70-54 in ACC play last night, bouncing back from their recent loss to North Carolina. The victory marked an important rebound for the Blue Devils, while Pittsburgh struggled to keep pace and suffered another defeat in its season.
The Miami Hurricanes defeated No. 11 North Carolina 75-66 in ACC play, snapping UNC’s five-game winning streak. The Hurricanes led from start to finish in Coral Gables, using strong interior play and defense to control the game. Malik Reneau recorded 16 points and 10 rebounds, while Ernest Udeh Jr. added 15 points and 10 rebounds, helping Miami dominate the paint and the boards. UNC struggled offensively, particularly in the second half where they shot just 26.5% and were unable to mount a comeback. Miami’s rebounding advantage and defensive intensity proved decisive, and fans stormed the court after the final buzzer. After UNC's win over Duke, and this loss to Miami, should UNC fans be worried about their Tar Heels? What happened?
