UNC trailed by 21 points at halftime and as many as 24 in the second half in the ACC tournament semifinal.

The Tar Heels cut the lead to 13 at halftime before losing to Duke 74-71 on Friday .

Duke 's Ven-Allen Lubin missed a free throw that would have tied the score with 4.1 seconds to play.

"It was a lot more to blame than a lane violation," Lubin said afterward.

UNC , on the other hand, will wait and wonder about whether its most exhilarating performance of the season also will be the one that ended its hopes for a tournament bid. "We really had that game," Trimble said. "I think we're an overtime session away from winning that game. But I'm not bashing [Withers]. We do any other things different, and it's a different game.".
