## Resource

In a 1979 ACC showdown, Duke and North Carolina engaged in a slowdown battle, with Dean Smiths Tar Heels employing a strategic hold-back approach. Despite Dukes stacked frontcourt and shooters, UNC managed just two shots in crunch time, both airballs, leading to the Cameron Crazies iconic Airball! chant. Smith admitted his team couldnt maintain intensity for the full forty minutes, highlighting the evolution of basketball from grind-it-out clashes.
