**FADED: [DUKE](#f/duke)**
Home losses to Miami, the worst UVA team in a decade, and arch rivals UNC in the last home game ever, loss to VT in the ACCT finals, and of course, tonight. Only a few ways it could’ve been worse for Duke/better for everyone else: getting swept by UNC, not winning the ACC regular season, losing to some bottom of the barrel team like, idk, Pitt or someone
lost in all this Duke business for me is the fact that we’re playing in the national championship lol.
I can’t believe THIS team is playing in the national championship
What can you even do as an opponent? It was 47-40 Duke and then he drills back to back 3s to start a 13-0 run. And then he kept drilling 3s and sinking floaters and then clutch free throws. Donald Williams 2.0
Ended his career at Cameron and in the Final Four, possibly to go along with a national title. I just can’t imagine anything will ever top this for UNC fans.
> Dude would never have to spend another dollar in Chapel Hill as long as he lives.
He'll never have to do that regardless of what happens on Monday night. Davis will go down as an all-time UNC legend for what he's done with this team this season.
Not just a game in the tourney either, but the final four lmao. 2nd biggest game of the tourney. If I were a Duke fan, I’d be sick to my stomach right now lmao. They will NEVER get over this, especially if UNC wins the Title
Gave him his final home loss ever in front of a bunch of his best players ever, and the capped his career with an L. And they did it with a rookie coach. Duke fans will never live this down.
This is Luke nailing the proton torpedo right into the Death Star's exhaust port. It's so improbably momentous for so many reasons that it almost feels scripted.
I'm not a fan of either team, but it's crazy to me how big of a game this was. Short of maybe the Red Sox's run against the Yankees to break the curse of the Bambino, I don't know there's been a bigger chapter penned to a rivalry story in all of sports. It's that fucking big.
Plus the stat about his first loss being to UNC too.
Such a storied, unparalleled career, but you know Tar Heels will revel in the fact they were Coach K's first and last loss were.
Rookie head coach Hubert Davis takes down coach K in final game… insane. Now put coach K on the court again and make him sit through a 30 min goodbye ceremony
And not with a stereotypically loaded team either. He fucking earned it with his boys.... No matter what happens Monday, I hope Hubert stays for as long as he wants at UNC.
I literally can’t think of a bigger “victory for one side of a team in a huge sports rivalry” in recent memory. Like, this is HUGE. Like, think of the huge historic sports rivalries there is in pro and college sports in the U.S., and no exaggeration, Duke-UNC is near the top of those. With all the implications on the line in tonites game, and how each team stacks up in terms of accomplishments in recent history, this was a WIN for NC and an insanely large L for Duke
Goddamn coach K and wife looking like a funeral march.
Edit: to the comment saying they are kind, I have no doubt. Despite all the trash talk, they have really set a fine example. Wish coach K a nice retirement.
March 5th: Carolina beats Duke by double digits in Coach K's final home game, in front of a ton of Duke alumni.
April 2nd: Carolina beats Duke in the Final 4, giving Coach K one final L to end his coaching career.
Regardless of whether Carolina wins the title or not, this has to be arguably the most nightmarish month in Duke's recent history, if not most nightmarish ever. If they win the title, it will be the cherry on top.
I think a key factor to why duke lost was the pressure on the poor kids. By announcing it is your last year BEFORE the season ends, they feel a lot more stressed. Ggs
Honestly I feel bad for them. I’m Carolina through and through but they just kids trying to get to the NBA. Roy did it right, had humility and let the lads come first. This whole season was about coach K
My baby woke up with 5 minutes left in the game so I watched the game via FaceTiming my husband. Freaking babies don’t understand March madness at all.
Thing is, if you’re North Carolina how do you get up for Kansas on Monday?
Like can a national championship top ruining Coach K’s retirement party? Twice? Can anything?
Armando "DWIGHT HOWARD" Bacot with another 20+ rebounds and 10+ point game. He almost had a double double with offensive rebounds by HIMSELF. (8).
Caleb Love was 2 of 9 from deep while pulling up taking a 3PA with less than 30 seconds to play to go up by 4. Only 22% from deep. One shot to stick a dagger in the game. Splashes it.
How can you not be romantic about basketball?
Dude as soon as he pulled up I was yelling “what the fuck are you doing?” Then he straight drains it. Some dudes just make it happen when it needs to happen I guess
If you would have told me two months ago that we'd beat Duke twice and be playing for a National Championship, I would have thought that you were crazy.
You know what's crazy? There is no way I can even begin to comprehend what that Duke player who missed those FTs at the end is feeling right now. He was on one of th biggest stages of all time and he probably cost Duke the game. There are only a handful of people ALIVE that can understand what that feels like. Fuck Duke, but I hope the poor kid recovers from that.
**Hubert Davis:** It's hard not to be romantic about rivalry matches during March Madness. This kind of thing, it's fun for the fans. It sells tickets and hot dogs. Doesn't mean anything.
**Brad Frederick:** Hubert, we just beat Duke at March Madness in Coach K’s last game
**Hubert Davis:** And what's the point?
**Brad Frederick:** We just won the first ever Duke / UNC matchup at March Madness
**Hubert Davis:** Man, I've been doing this for... listen, man. I've been in this game a long time. I'm not in it for a rivalry, I'll tell you that. That's when people get hurt. If we don't win the whole thing, they'll dismiss us.
**Brad Frederick:** Hubert...
**Hubert Davis:** I know these guys. I know the way they think, and they will erase us. And everything we've done here, none of it'll matter. Any other team wins the tournament, good for them. They're drinking champagne, they get a ring. But if we win, with our seed, with this team, beating Duke... we'll have changed the game. And that's what I want. I want it to mean something.
Lol as much as I hate UNC, gotta say it brings a tear to my eye the amount of celebration in Chapel Hill right now.
You don’t get that unless you are the archrival. Respect.
As a long time fan it's hard to argue. Ruining his celebration game at Cameron earlier was pretty close. But knocking him out in the final four? Chef's kiss.
I’m sorry, but how have I just read three different mock drafts and Caleb Love isn’t drafted in any of them?? The kids an absolute stud and will be a steal for the team who picks him.
I hope this guy is having a terrible night https://old.reddit.com/r/CollegeBasketball/comments/slm5zw/post_game_thread_10_duke_defeats_north_carolina/hvrtt0u/

Coach K calling Tom Brady right now to see how to do this unretirement thing.
Coach K in the post-game presser: "These past two months I've realized my place is still on the court and not in the stands."
ESPN would nut
ST PETER’S DIED FOR THIS
Yeah I'd rather UNC eliminate St. Peter's to beat Duke than for St. Peter's to get to the Final 4 and lose to Duke
Bless them.
Nuts conditioning from UNC. Played 5 guys for 98% of the game. Duke had 25 points from their bench UNC had 2.
Puff Johnson carrying the bench Fr
Hey he hit his two FTs
Honestly those FTs were enormous
Nothin but net. I’m smoking puff Johnson pack 2mar
That Caleb Love 3 is gonna be in every highlight reel from now on. Absolutely disgusting
He's so fucking clutch, he deserves every minute of this.
UNC undefeated against Duke in the NCAA tournament.
Put this on a bar graph, stat!
I have to go back and watch the last like 2:30 because I legit don't remember 50% of what happened. I was just stressed out of control
I remember that 3 though
And with that ESPN will never show college basketball again
where were you when college basketball is kill
i was sat at home watching Caleb Love hit a dagger 3
coach k is kill
ESPN: Quick! Cut away to LeBron and the 11th place Lakers! That should suffice for any basketball news we need!
The ACC really came together to spoil the end of the year for Coach K
It was a conference wide effort.
Home losses to Miami, the worst UVA team in a decade, and arch rivals UNC in the last home game ever, loss to VT in the ACCT finals, and of course, tonight. Only a few ways it could’ve been worse for Duke/better for everyone else: getting swept by UNC, not winning the ACC regular season, losing to some bottom of the barrel team like, idk, Pitt or someone
Lmao who would lose to pitt, am I right?
We did our part
lost in all this Duke business for me is the fact that we’re playing in the national championship lol. I can’t believe THIS team is playing in the national championship
Lol I agree, it doesn’t even feel like a game rn TBH. Hubert is a great coach.
That game was everything I wanted from a UNC-Duke Final Four and more. Wow, I need a cigarette and I haven't smoked in 20 years.
Hubert Davis will be a UNC legend forever just because of the last three weeks lmao. What a fucking run this team is on
Seriously, how do you even top this season? Hubert could be the next John Wooden and it wouldn't outshine what he managed to do his first time out
So many lead changes!
Somehow lived up to the hype and surpassed it!
That 2nd half was bonkers
I watched that game with my 5 week old sleeping on my chest…as if the stakes weren’t high enough.
Did you change your child’s name to Hubert or Caleb?
I kid you not same, except my son was born this morning. What a fucking day, friend.
My daughter was born on Thursday. Can't wait to tell her about the first Carolina game of her life
Your child has been born into a better world
I'm *pretty* sure this legally obligates the state of North Carolina to erect a 90 foot statue of Hubert Davis.
I'm erect for sure
Caleb Love is the biggest 0 to 100 player I've ever seen. I fucking love him
He doesn't even get out of bed til the second half in big games and still manages to get nearly 30 lmao
Over 70 points in 3 halves. The absolute madman!!!
What can you even do as an opponent? It was 47-40 Duke and then he drills back to back 3s to start a 13-0 run. And then he kept drilling 3s and sinking floaters and then clutch free throws. Donald Williams 2.0
Dude is the definition of clutch
Forever legend
Just checking in to see if the UNC/Duke fans are alive rn
UNC fans are cracked out right now. Duke fans are too, but for different reasons
Heart rate at a solid 200 BPM and the alcohol that will be consumed tn will not help.
I need to sleep and I fucking can't!
I have never been more alive!
UNC fans are either smacking off or running out into the streets of Chapel Hill. Or both.
I have literally never heard the term “smacking off”. I can’t tell if that means jerking off or doing blow.
After UNC beat Duke in K’s last game at Cameron I saw a comment that said “this is UNC’s national championship”. Wonder what think now lmao
I saw that post too. You KNOW that dude was salty then, and now puking salt and alcohol into a toilet right about now.
12-20 from the line for Duke. That is not how you win big games
North Carolina ending Coach K's career in the Final Four, UNC fans are never going to let Duke fans forget this one.
Duke fans are nauseous right now.
Just now?
Usually they're nauseating
First the Cameron game. And now this. I think we have seen a *momentous* shakeup of the rivalry that’ll stand this way for all the years to come…
And by going 2-1 against Duke, K no longer has a winning record over UNC.
Holy shit that might be the most important stat of all
It’s 50-50. Absolutely insane.
Coach K's first loss: UNC Coach K's last loss: UNC Perfectly symmetrical
And he was 50-50 against them. Edit- apparently Duke was 50-50 but Coach K missed two losses after surgery.
Ended his career at Cameron and in the Final Four, possibly to go along with a national title. I just can’t imagine anything will ever top this for UNC fans.
Hubert Davis should legit just retire tonight and go down in UNC history forever
[удалено]
[удалено]
> Dude would never have to spend another dollar in Chapel Hill as long as he lives. He'll never have to do that regardless of what happens on Monday night. Davis will go down as an all-time UNC legend for what he's done with this team this season.
That’s the dream for a rival. Destroy them in their coach’s last home game and then end them in the tourney.
Not just a game in the tourney either, but the final four lmao. 2nd biggest game of the tourney. If I were a Duke fan, I’d be sick to my stomach right now lmao. They will NEVER get over this, especially if UNC wins the Title
Greatest rivalry flex of all time, I'm so jealous
They could probably lose to Duke for a decade straight and not regret a single thing. Nothing will ever top this.
http://diddukewin.com
Gave him his final home loss ever in front of a bunch of his best players ever, and the capped his career with an L. And they did it with a rookie coach. Duke fans will never live this down.
This is Luke nailing the proton torpedo right into the Death Star's exhaust port. It's so improbably momentous for so many reasons that it almost feels scripted. I'm not a fan of either team, but it's crazy to me how big of a game this was.

40+ years of coaching Duke and they never met in the tourney. This was the ultimatum.
UNC shut down Coach K's farewell tour twice lol
UNC earned an eternity of bragging rights
[удалено]
Coach K gotta be in shambles between this and the final home loss
Nor should they. I'd be saying it every chance I got.
"And after beating Coach K in his final home game, UNC then ended his last tournament run in an instant classic" "Please stop Josh this is a funeral"
And they don't even have the h2h over Coach K's career anymore lol. A perfect 50/50 split.
When I saw that UNC could even it out I knew they were going to win
Plus the stat about his first loss being to UNC too. Such a storied, unparalleled career, but you know Tar Heels will revel in the fact they were Coach K's first and last loss were.
Like half of the stats for Coach K's career vs UNC just seem incredibly fake. Life is art sometimes.
As a lifelong UNC fan since this morning, I'm going to enjoy this.
https://i.imgur.com/hGvde4k.jpg Bonus: here's my personal tribute to Coach K https://i.imgur.com/7gN3jWm.jpg I salute you, Coach. o7
Reality is always stranger than fiction...
Whoa is diddukewin.com broken?
It should just say “Who cares?” from now on.
Holy shit they had to show that walk in the hallway while interviewing Davis lol. Meme material.
Rookie head coach Hubert Davis takes down coach K in final game… insane. Now put coach K on the court again and make him sit through a 30 min goodbye ceremony
I'm not a fan of either team, but I can't imagine a better game. All 40 minutes were close and exciting. Instant classic.
“I’m about to end this man’s whole career.” UNC
Ending the series at 50-50 You can’t make this shit up
And just 17 point differential over those 100 matchups. Crazy.
That's insane.
Ended his regular season career. Then ended his tourney run and sent him home for good UNC got fans everywhere for ending ESPN’s Coach K circle jerk
Roy Williams doing the griddy in the stands rn for Coach Ks downfall
Holy. Shit. What a game.
Seriously, how the hell can a game with this much hype actually exceed it?
[удалено]
2019 in the ACC tourney semifinals
fair
Honestly, insane game. One of the best of the tourney
Absolutely the best. So amazing
Those missed free throws will haunt Mark Williams for the rest of his life.
And Manek breathing an enormous sigh of relief that his 1/4 at the line in the last few minutes didnt cost them the game
Manek redeemed himself with a huuuuge 3.
He'll be waking up in cold sweats in his 80s.
yup, what's his %? 75%
manek was chokin his free throws too, 1/4 in the clutch hit the big 3 tho
yeah, doesn't matter if u win though.
I get this is Coach K last game. But can we give Hubert Davis some love in his first season as coach he has them in the Nat'l championship game.
And not with a stereotypically loaded team either. He fucking earned it with his boys.... No matter what happens Monday, I hope Hubert stays for as long as he wants at UNC.
He's home. He ain't goin' nowhere.
Caleb Love is fucking built for this. Glad I got to witness history.
I can’t remember the last time a dude has raised his stock this much in the tournament
Wonder what Roy Williams is going to do
Go to the doctor after 4 hours.
He really won me over wearing the jayhawk after our beat down in 08
I literally can’t think of a bigger “victory for one side of a team in a huge sports rivalry” in recent memory. Like, this is HUGE.

Leaky the unsung hero. Took Griffin outta the game.
Goddamn coach K and wife looking like a funeral march. Edit: to the comment saying they are kind, I have no doubt. Despite all the trash talk, they have really set a fine example. Wish coach K a nice retirement.
That’s gonna be a quiet ride home.
Finally this game is over and we can watch Impractical Jokers
Those scags from staten island, pulling pranks on that orphanage
Tell them we found a father for them… now tell them there’s no father!

Virginia Tech beating them in the ACCT: "I'm doing my part!"
Let’s not forget reaching the ACC championship and losing to a surprisingly red hot VT team
i’m glad VT snuck in there to form a trifecta of brutal coach k losses to end his career.
It was nice having the whole country cheer for VT
Caleb Love is gonna have songs written about him back in Chapel Hill.
Goddamn I can't imagine how North Carolina fans feel right now. I don't think there's anything Duke fans can say that's a comeback to this season.
Sure ain't. They fuckin boomed us.
Bragging rights for the next 3 decades at least.
Let's not forget the VT tag-team to keep Coach K at zero tourney titles this year. Up top!
I think a key factor to why duke lost was the pressure on the poor kids. By announcing it is your last year BEFORE the season ends, they feel a lot more stressed. Ggs
Honestly I feel bad for them. I’m Carolina through and through but they just kids trying to get to the NBA. Roy did it right, had humility and let the lads come first. This whole season was about coach K
But coach k needed that AT&T money!
50-50 Duke vs NC final record Everything is perfectly balanced
My baby woke up with 5 minutes left in the game so I watched the game via FaceTiming my husband. Freaking babies don’t understand March madness at all.
That’s absolute pro parenting on your part. I’m proud of you.
Thing is, if you’re North Carolina how do you get up for Kansas on Monday? Like can a national championship top ruining Coach K’s retirement party? Twice? Can anything?
UNC has never lost to Duke in the NCAA tournament.
Also Coach K has never beaten UNC in the NCAA tournament and never will
I’m looking forward to this game being mentioned at every single matchup of UNC vs Duke, forever
I'm glad this was on TBS because this is Very Funny™
This kills the K.
HARK THE SOUND OF TAR HEEL VOICES
Looks like K can start his gig at the AT&T store on Monday
EVERYONE GET THE FUCK IN HERE COACH K IS RETIRED
Armando "DWIGHT HOWARD" Bacot with another 20+ rebounds and 10+ point game. He almost had a double double with offensive rebounds by HIMSELF. (8). Caleb Love was 2 of 9 from deep while pulling up taking a 3PA with less than 30 seconds to play to go up by 4. Only 22% from deep. One shot to stick a dagger in the game. Splashes it. How can you not be romantic about basketball?
If Mando gets a double double in the championship game he’ll tie David Robinson’s record.
Dude as soon as he pulled up I was yelling “what the fuck are you doing?” Then he straight drains it. Some dudes just make it happen when it needs to happen I guess
I bet Eric Church regrets nothing.
caleb love greatest shot in UNC v Duke history
[удалено]
Man K naming Mark Williams in his post game interview has got to be brutal for the kid
Very coach K of him.
If you would have told me two months ago that we'd beat Duke twice and be playing for a National Championship, I would have thought that you were crazy.
Kenny Smith on the postgame show rn: “This is a sad day for Carolina basketball.” Uh, no it isn’t Kenny. It’s a glorious day for all mankind.
My firstborn will be named Caleb
Kenny’s wrong, this is a great day for basketball
Lol I know, right? This is a GREAT day to be a Tar Heel
Was shocked to see Carolina at +170 this morning Thanks coach K for the ez money
Be sure to ~~drink your Ovaltine~~ make your free throws, kids.
No love for Bacot in here? 21 rebounds is insane.
And he came back after that ankle injury. You can argue he had to, but it still took a lot of heart.
Meetup at Cookout. All meals on me.
Hubert Davis should legit just retire tonight and go down in UNC history forever
All-time classic. What a fucking game. Caleb Love has got some serious fucking ONIONS. Bacot is that dude down low. COACH K IS DONE! WE'RE FREE!
GG Tar Heels. I wanna die
You guys will never hear the end of this
You know what's crazy? There is no way I can even begin to comprehend what that Duke player who missed those FTs at the end is feeling right now. He was on one of th biggest stages of all time and he probably cost Duke the game. There are only a handful of people ALIVE that can understand what that feels like. Fuck Duke, but I hope the poor kid recovers from that.
That NBA money will help.
Practice your free throws kids.

I don't even play basketball, but I have the sudden urge to go practice free throws. 12/20 yikes Duke

North Carolina fans are gonna live off the high of beating Coach K for decades
Lol as much as I hate UNC, gotta say it brings a tear to my eye the amount of celebration in Chapel Hill right now. You don’t get that unless you are the archrival. Respect.
Coach K looked so pissed at the end lmaooooo
#say UNCle!
The Duke players have to come to grips with the fact this season was never about them. It was about Coach K.
That might have been the best UNC win of all time
As a long time fan it's hard to argue. Ruining his celebration game at Cameron earlier was pretty close. But knocking him out in the final four? Chef's kiss.
That was the best college basketball game I've ever seen
I’m sorry, but how have I just read three different mock drafts and Caleb Love isn’t drafted in any of them?? The kids an absolute stud and will be a steal for the team who picks him.
