Great Carolina-Duke Moments



The altercation: Matt Doherty did two good things for the Carolina basketball program.  The first, signing Felton, May, and McCants to national letters of intent.  The second, inciting a near-brawl with the Duke bench. An unranked Carolina took the game over the 10th-rated Blue Devils, 82-79.



"Gerald Henderson is a douche" game. Billy Packer will never admit it, but it was intentional, and Henderson got what he deserved, leaving Duke without a national title, and having a mediocre NBA career. Plus, Carolina won the game 86-72.



The Bloody Montross Game: This game took place in 1992, with Carolina ranked #9 and Duke ranked #1. Eric Montross took a shot to his right eye, but calmly sank both free throws. Fastforward to 1:00 to see one of the two free throws. Carolina won the game 75-73.



The punch: High school rivals, Art Heyman (Duke) and Larry Brown's (Carolina) fight turned into a bench-clearing brawl way back in 1961. Duke won the game 81-77, and basically cleared the way for the bad blood between the schools.



Greatest Missed Dunk Ever: Typically, missed dunks are destined for the Sportscenter "Not" Top 10. But not this one, no way. Vince Carter jumped through the roof to get this one, and though he smashed off the iron, a three was the result.
