The North Carolina Tar Heels trailed Duke for the entire game on Saturday night. The Blue Devils even had a 13 point lead at one point in the game.
But when North Carolina needed a rally, they got one.
A 9-0 run closed out the game for the Tar Heels and delivered a 71-68 win over Duke as Seth Trimble drained a three-pointer with .4 seconds left in the game. It was the third-straight three for UNC in that 9-0 run. But the last one was the biggest.
As students rushed the floor twice, after the game they went to Franklin Street to celebrate:
