Lucas: Rapid Reactions

1. A frustrating way to end a frustrating regular season, as Duke prevails 89-76.

2. Despite the result, Garrison Brooks was terrific, making yet another case for first-team All-ACC. Brooks becomes the first Tar Heel to score 25+ in four straight games since Antawn Jamison in 1998. The junior finished with 26 points and 13 rebounds in a team-high 37 minutes and was by far the most consistent Carolina player on the floor all night.

3. Even as Carolina has gotten things together offensively in the final couple weeks of the regular season, they still have not become a good defensive team.
