North Carolina was about to clinch a victory over its archrival, Duke, and maintain its control of the ACC standings Wednesday.
But it wasn't to be.
Somehow, the Blue Devils came away with an incredible 74-73 road win in the latest edition of the fierce Tobacco Road rivalry. North Carolina led for the vast majority of the game against a Duke squad that was battling through injuries, foul trouble and an alarming lack of depth but still managed to lose on its home floor.
The Tar Heels held a 68-60 advantage until Brandon Ingram ignited a 14-5 run in the game's final six-and-a-half minutes with what appeared to be a relatively meaningless jumper at the time.
