In a fantastic capstone to a wild ACC regular season, No. 5 North Carolina emerged from Saturday night's back-and-forth battle with No. 17 Duke with a 90-83 victory.

"Coming in, we knew we were the ACC regular-season champs, but we wanted to do something for ourselves," North Carolina point guard Joel Berry told ESPN's Maria Taylor after the game. "We wanted to get revenge [for Duke's win on Feb. 9]."

Berry was on fire in the first half, scoring 19 points while draining each of his five three-point attempts.
