CHAPEL HILL -- With the game tied 61-61 and the game clock reading 0.0, referee Sally Bell blew her whistle, calling a foul on Wynter Whitley and sending North Carolina's Chrystal Baptist to the line to shoot two free throws- either of which could have ended Duke's 28-game ACC winning streak, 16-game overall winning streak and the Blue Devils' top ranking.

Midway through the first half of Duke's 102-74 victory over the EA Sports All-Stars, junior guard Chris Duhon drove from the three-point line after missing two straight treys.
