Summary

Rob Harrington and Dewey Burke join Tommy Ashley to break down North Carolina's comeback win over Duke 71-68. Seth Trimble's three with .4 seconds remaining ended the Duke winning streak over the Tar Heels in dramatic fashion in the Smith Center. Caleb Wilson carried the Heels in the first half while Henri Veesaar came alive in the second setting up the dramatic finish. Burke and Harrington highlight Derek Dixon's efficient and electric play down the stretch providing the much needed late three pointers and the pass that will live in rivalry lore to Trimble on the game winning shot. **Call to Action:**   **Subscribe:** Follow 'Inside Carolina' wherever you get your podcasts to never miss an episode!   **Review:** Leave us a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify to help us reach more Tar Heel fans!   **Visit:** Explore http://www.InsideCarolina.com for breaking news, recruiting updates, and expert commentary on all things UNC sports.

Duke, Carolina game. Absolutely. I mean, the heels had several chances to fold up shop because it looked like Duke just had their number tonight.
