Four players reached the 20-point mark for visiting North
Carolina in a stunning 94-81 victory against No. 4 Duke in the
final home game for Hall of Fame coach Mike Krzyzewski on
Saturday night in Durham, N.C.
It was one of the most-anticipated matchups in the storied
rivalry with Krzyzewski's 42-year run with Duke hitting a
certain juncture. Instead, first-year coach Hubert Davis
directed the Tar Heels to a victory against a ranked team for
just the second time this season.
In all, Krzyzewski has a 572-76 record in 42 seasons of home
games, though this result will sting Duke fans forever.
Armando Bacot racked up 23 points, Caleb Love ended up with 22
points with a late-game surge, R.J. Davis had 21 and Brady Manek
posted 20 points for the Tar Heels (23-8, 15-5 Atlantic Coast
Conference).
Paolo Banchero scored 23 points to lead Duke (26-5, 16-4), which
had clinched the outright ACC regular-season championship
earlier in the week. The Blue Devils had won their last three
games on the road and looked poised to gain more momentum
heading into the postseason.
Mark Williams had 16 points, Jeremy Roach collected 15 points
and Trevor Keels recorded 12 points for Duke.
North Carolina turned the game with a 9-0 run that ended with
Manek's basket off an offensive rebound, pushing the Tar Heels
to a 65-61 lead. Still, Duke trailed just 73-71 before North
Carolina hit another gear.
The spread moved to 79-71 with less than four minutes to play on
another Manek basket. Manek's 3-pointer with 2:37 to play pushed
the edge to 82-74.
Duke used a 12-0 run in the first half to build a 35-28 lead.
The margin was 41-39 at halftime, with the Blue Devils shooting
58.1 percent from the field.
But North Carolina made five 3s in the first half and made all
six of its free throws.
By game's end, the Tar Heels were 9-for-23 on 3s, with Manek, a
transfer from Oklahoma who had never played in the gym before,
making five of those.
