DURHAM, N.C. — In a game that meant nothing in the ACC standings for No. 4 Duke but everything in the hearts of Blue Devils near and far, rival North Carolina outplayed the Blue Devils when it mattered Saturday night.
In retiring Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski’s final game at Cameron Indoor Stadium, the Tar Heels rallied from seven points down in the final 13 minutes to beat the Blue Devils, 94-81.
Wanting desperately to send their 75-year-old coach off the court that bears his name with a win one last time, Duke instead saw four Tar Heels score 20 points or more. That quartet — Armando Bacot (23 points), Caleb Love (22) RJ Davis (21) and Brady Manek (20) — helped UNC shoot 59.4% in the second half to pull away.
