UNC/Duke game overshadowed by tragedy

by Rich Carlson on March 7th, 2008

This weekend’s matchup between top ranked North Carolina and #5 Duke has all the makings to be one of the best college basketball games of the year.

Unfortunately, a shadow will hang over the game, as North Carolina’s studentbody president, Eve Carson , was shot to death on Wednesday.

Hopefully, the North Carolina players can put this tragedy behind them and keep their heads in the game.

Here is a follow-up report that ESPN put together about how both the UNC and Duke campuses were affected by the shooting.
