Even in a season that has been as weird as this one, there’s nothing quite like Carolina closing out the year with a dominant performance against Duke. The Tar Heels got the better of the Blue Devils in both their meetings this season with Senior Night for UNC’s guys going as well as anyone could have asked for with a 91-73 win.
Carolina was all over Duke from the opening tip. They cruised out to a big lead early and the game never really felt in danger from there. Duke did manage to surge at the end of the first half, as we’ve seen in this rivalry so many times before, but the Heels were able withstand the storm and keep a healthy lead.
