Happy Birthday To UNC Legend Phil Ford!

from The Best of the Sports Shop

Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex speak with Phil Ford on his birthday. Happy 70th Birthday to UNC Legend Phil Ford! Saturday night’s Duke vs UNC game turned into an instant classic, with North Carolina stunning Duke 71-68 in Chapel Hill on a dramatic, last-second shot. Duke controlled most of the night, building a lead that reached double digits and taking a 41-29 advantage into halftime behind strong scoring and efficient shooting. UNC struggled early to find rhythm but stayed close enough to keep pressure on the Blue Devils as the second half wore on. The game flipped late when UNC tightened its defense and started hitting timely shots, slowly chipping away at Duke’s lead. With just 0.4 seconds left, Seth Trimble drilled a corner three-pointer, UNC’s first lead of the entire game, to put the Tar Heels ahead for good. The win snapped Duke’s winning streak and immediately joined the long list of unforgettable moments in the rivalry. How good is Caleb Wilson?
