The Duke Blue Devils had their season come to an end last night with an 81-77 loss to the North Carolina Tar Heels in a tremendous game between two of the biggest rivals in college basketball history.
The loss, of course, also marked the end of Mike Krzyzewski’s coaching career and also led to a lot of memes about Coach K.
Moments after the game the two teams went through the handshake line but there weren’t a lot of Duke players in that line because most of the team headed back to the locker room feeling really sad about what had just happened.

Handshake lines have become a thing lately and these two teams had an incident in one just last month after UNC beat Duke in Cameron Indoor Stadium.
Should the Duke players gone through the line after game? I mean, it wouldn’t have been a bad thing but I get them being caught up in the moment and just walking back to the locker room. They’re still just kids, after all, and it was a devastating loss on many levels.
Twitter, however, was less forgiving.
