By Tim Candon | January 21With just less than six minutes to go in Monday's game against Duke, North Carolina shooting guard Coretta Brown dished to teammate Kenya McBee, who made a short jumper to give the Tar Heels a 54-49 lead. On the ensuing possession for Duke, UNC point guard Leah Metcalf stole the ball and outleted to Nikita Bell, who converted the layup.
