DURHAM – North Carolina turned the narrative of its season Saturday, spoiling Duke Coach Mike Krzyzewski’s last game at Cameron Indoor Stadium and elevating their own NCAA Tournament resume with a 94-81 victory on Saturday night.
The Tar Heels started the game playing at a high level, but Duke reeled off a 14-0 run to take a 37-28 lead. But instead of not punching back, which was a problem for the Tar Heels earlier in the season, they flexed and responded.
Duke led by two points at halftime, and led 61-56 with 10:32 left to play. But the Tar Heels outscored them 38-23 the rest of the way to secure the victory.
