Savoring the Win

After a day filled with much anticipation, Matt and I headed to Chapel Hill last night to watch the Carolina/Duke game. We joined 100-200 other people at the Hill Alumni Center on UNC's campus. It was a really nice setup with a large in-wall projection screen (complete with audio), snacks, and drinks. Matt and I really enjoyed ourselves, especially since Carolina beat Dook.

It was an up-and-down game for Tar Heels, as they went up by 10 in the first half and then were down 8 by halftime. Luckily for us, though, they outscored the Blue Devils by 24 points in the second half to win 101-87.

Some photos from the night are below. After the photos, I've posted a couple of videos from last night. They should provide a better glimpse of what Chapel Hill (and specifically, Franklin Street) is like after a victory over Duke. School spirit rocks.
