All eyes were on the state of North Carolina as it featured US college basketball's (and perhaps college sports') greatest rivalry.
Welcome to another Duke-UNC game, but this time there's more than just pride on the line. Number five Duke hosted top-ranked Carolina for the ACC regular season championship and a potential number one seed in the NCAA tournament later this month.
North Carolina used a 10-0 run in the final minutes to seal the 76-88 win, spoil yet another Duke Senior Night, while clinching the ACC regular season championship. Duke was held scoreless for the last five-and-a-half minutes of the game.
It was another gloomy end for another Duke senior, as captain and leading scorer DeMarcus Nelson had a poor outing with 6 points on 3 of 12 shooting. A couple of years ago, Duke's inside-outside duo of Shelden Williams and JJ Redick also lost to UNC on their Senior Night.
Danny Green led the Heels with 18 points and 7 blocks while All-American Tyler Hansbrough had 16 points and 15 rebounds.
