MBB: Duke 98, UNC 96 (OT) Post-Game Thread

[JBDuke]

Go to Hell, Carolina, go to Hell!!!


Put your post-game thoughts here.

[kaufmjo]

Bilas blows

[ice-9]

Wendell Moore. What, a, MAN.

We would have certainly lost if he had not played.

[J4Kop99]

Magic! What a win. Tre the king. And what a follow for Wendell! Battled and battled and battled some more. Survive and advance

[SouthernDukie]

Miracles still happen! Twice in the same game!!!

[ratamero]

Credits to me on this one. Stopped watching at the under-8 timeout and stuck to it even when we came back.

[kAzE]

We ain’t done yet

Mmmhmmmm

[robed deity]

Amazing

[Skydog]

Bilas blows
That’s what you took from this game?

[CDu]

I think I just lost 10 years off my life. And it feels glorious. Thank Jeebus!

[Acymetric]

That’s what you took from this game?

It is certainly a valid observation...wouldn't be my first one but it is accurate.

[DrChainsaw]

(9f)∞

[DU82]

9 f’ing F!

Cheaters never win in the end!

[Scorp4me]

Refs were horrible. Absolutely horrible across the board both sides of the ball. Carolina uncharacteristically couldn't miss! Just couldn't miss! And we won, can't believe it.

[porkpa]

We won. The best team tonight did not win. But we won. I'll take it anyway. Elite hoops players need to be able to shoot fouls. That was the ruination of the Tar Heels.

[arnie]

I think I just lost 10 years off my life. And it feels glorious. Thank Jeebus!

Yea, I’ll be dead soon if we do that again. Almost feel sorry for Heels players, but not the Cheat fans.

[devildeac]

Can we get Klemnop to run nekkid on Franklin Street?

[HereBeforeCoachK]

I"m just so happy for Bilas

[JD for Three!]

Glad to be typing. I have no voice left after screaming obscenities about the horrible officiating all night. Surprised the neighbors didn’t call the police.
Lots of guts shown by the team, and some really good coaching down the stretch. Awesome!

[WakeDevil]

Credits to me on this one. Stopped watching at the under-8 timeout and stuck to it even when we came back.

I turned it off earlier. Don't try to steal my thunder. We will to watch the end tomorrow on the ACCN.

Seen on IC: "I hope all 3 refs go home and find their wives in bed with someone else. They deserve it."

Did the officials win it for Duke? Asking for a friend.

[Dub]

Gritty comeback for the good guys. The small ball lineup worked and I think it adds an additional layer of what we can do when Vernon is resting or in foul trouble. I won’t critique too much more but there’s a lot of work to be done. Our depth is our strength. I hope this game shows K to trust his bench.

Finally, for all the “fairweather, woe is me, Duke is terrible” fans, please please please come back next season. We’re good here and the board is better without you.

[duke96]

Wow. Maybe even better than the Austin rivers finish

[OldPhiKap]

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!

Go to Hell, Carolina.

[PackMan97]

Congrats on the ripping their hearts out. 9f for life.

[arnie]

It is certainly a valid observation...wouldn't be my first one but it is accurate.

Yea, Bilas didn’t play in the game, but agree with the observation😏

[HereBeforeCoachK]

2012 Team: How do you like THAT?
2020 Team: Hold My Beer

[CameronDuke]

Wowowowowowowowowowowowowowow!

[rsvman]

Wow. I have no words.

Go to Hell, Carolina, go to Hell!!!

Take that you cheating bastards

[DukieInBrasil]

absolutely amazing! Duke did every single thing it needed to do to win AND UNC did enough things to lose.
I've been rather unimpressed by Wendell, and even during this game, but he was really good late in the 2nd half and OT. Hats off to Wendell, great game. Double double!!!!
But Tre Stones with cold blooded murder down the stretch, amazing game.

[dukelion]

I hate myself for turning it off after the late double digit deficit......

Then turned it off again in OT when it looked bleak.....

Then stuck with it to the end.......

Holy *%$#!!!!!!!

[ehdg]

I’m. Sorry I admit I’d given up on them n was totally frustrated with the first 37 minutes of this game.

[Acymetric]

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!

Go to Hell, Carolina.

Can't spork, so I'm just going to quote this, and maybe make it the default signature for my work email.

Wow, just Wow... Great finish!

do you think Jay is over there commiserating with UNC players??

[JD for Three!]

absolutely amazing! Due did every single thing it needed to do to win AND UNC did enough things to lose.
I've been rather unimpressed by Wendell, and even during this game, but he was really good late in the 2nd half and OT. Hats off to Wendell, great game. Double double!!!!

The cool thing was that he called out Tyus Stones in the postgame interview

[jipops]

Bilas is as annoying as I am during these games.

Glad we won, obviously. And it was a classic.

Looking beyond, this team doesn’t seem to be in a good place right now. But I’ll relish the win anyways.

[dukelion]

Heels looked good

[CameronBlue]

Lots of bad calls ...and Duke benefited from a few but the basket to make it 94-91 UNC on a followup of a Cole Anthony miss....man Baker, under the basket, was body slammed by someone for UNC.

[OZZIE4DUKE]

Can we get Klemnop to run nekkid on Franklin Street?
I vote yes. I'm still in for $20 on his bail fund! http://www.crazietalk.net/ourhouse/images/smilies/devil9f.gifhttp://www.crazietalk.net/ourhouse/images/smilies/devil9f.gifhttp://www.crazietalk.net/ourhouse/images/smilies/devil9f.gifhttp://www.crazietalk.net/ourhouse/images/smilies/devil9f.gif

[Acymetric]

Can we call instant classic here? I mean, it was one of the ugliest games I've ever seen, but certainly one of the most exciting! Hoping for an immediate replay later tonight.

9F9F9F! GTHC!

[uh_no]

[DUKIECB]

For all the pessimistic people in the in game chat, what's up now? I said it all game, we weren't playing that bad. They were just playing the best game they've played all year. Duke didn't quit and showed heart and desire when it mattered most. Congrats boys!

And UNC - how do you like them apples? Bwahahaha!!!

[arnie]

Fascinating stat: two players had double digit rebounds. Wendell Moore and Cole Anthony.

[DukieInBrasil]

Bilas is as annoying as I am during these games.

Glad we won, obviously. And it was a classic.

Looking beyond, this team doesn’t seem to be in a good place right now. But I’ll relish the win anyways.
we just won our 3rd strait ACC road game. That's a good place to be in. IMHO (where the H is in the same place where UNC's jockstrap used to be).


Heels looked good
At the end, they looked about as good as they possibly can. Well, maybe except 82-50.

[OldPhiKap]

ddmf

And how!

[devildeac]

Lots of bad calls ...and Duke benefited from a few but the basket to make it 94-91 UNC on a followup of a Cole Anthony miss...man Baker, under the basket, was body slammed by someone for UNC.

Typical PoS multiple pushes/OTB ignored. That always helps with their rebounding. :mad:

[DU82]

Let’s give some credit to Jon Scheyer. Tre, in his post game interview, said that he discussed the last second free throw situation, and they practiced the play.

[Ultrarunner]

"I'm not willing to concede the second half."
Or OT as it turned out.
What a terrific gut check.
Props to Tre for taking over (except the hero ball shot).
Congrats to AOC for hitting a huge three.
Moore made plays in OT to win the game.
This team has guts.

[MarkD83]

Credits to me on this one. Stopped watching at the under-8 timeout and stuck to it even when we came back.

You and I need to not watch together. After the first minute of the game I could not watch because duke looked horrible. With 8 minutes left I told myself to be a good fan and watch even if they lost.

[Indoor66]

We had 'em right where we wanted them.

[devildeac]

I am not :p.

Ha! Had somehow not heard that before...had to look it up but nicely done!

If only UNC’s players listened to Roy during practices. . . . .

[DukieInBrasil]

Let’s give some credit to Jon Scheyer. Tre, in his post game interview, said that he discussed the last second free throw situation, and they practiced the play.

That interview was epic. Thanking his coach, who is a legend. And name-dropping the DBR nickname for another legend. Awesome

[weezie]

Hang those unis in the closet for another hundred years.

OMFG! http://www.crazietalk.net/ourhouse/images/smilies/devil9f.gif What a great comeback! http://www.crazietalk.net/ourhouse/images/smilies/devil9f.gif Almost better than the Austin Rivers game! http://www.crazietalk.net/ourhouse/images/smilies/devil9f.gif Both feel incredibly GREAT! http://www.crazietalk.net/ourhouse/images/smilies/devil9f.gif

[Coballs]

This was an instant classic when it went to OT. And now it’s in the top 5 of all time Duke-UNC games. Still processing what I just witnessed.

[CameronBlue]

Thank you for that admission. You've delivered a lot of great posts to this board but your comment at the half was mystifying. Duke's a young team with places to go. Maybe they'll get there, maybe not but tonight I'd say they took a BIG step forward, if for no other reason than UNC demonstrated that you have to play with a fearless passion for the game. Tre Jones just became the leader this team needs.

[DU82]

Ha! Had somehow not heard that before...had to look it up but nicely done!

Likewise, and yes, nicely done.

[BD80]

…

Seen on IC: "I hope all 3 refs go home and find their wives in bed with someone else. They deserve it."

...


As Bilas would say "Did they establish legal defending position?"

[devildeac]

Seven points in 21 seconds. Makes me think about a game in the 70s...

But, this time the good guys win.

[Bull City Proud]

This was a better win than the Rivers game

Tre with the three best missed foul shots in history

[bundabergdevil]

Bwahahahahahahah! I friggin’ love it! The only appropriate feeling right now is utter glee not just at the win but the way they had to watch us sink a game tier and a game winner on their home floor. With the season they’re having? It’s like dumping all the Marachinos on their poo sundae!

[lotusland]

We’re Duke, they suck - that is all .

[kako]

5 thoughts:

1. I said it in the in-game over and over - you just gotta believe!!! As bad as Duke can play in any game, any year, I learned my final lesson last year at Louisville. Never, ever count Duke out completely. It may take a miracle, but K can push Duke into miracle situations all the f'ing time!!!! Yet ANOTHER comeback against the Heels for the win!

2. For those of us who were around then - payback for 1995. Just like Duke had no chance of winning that game, and failed in the end. This time, Carolina had no chance of winning this game, and fails in the end.

3. Talk about a guy putting a team on his back and willing it back into the game. What Jones did in the last 3:54 of regulation is historic. Reminds me of what Grant Hill did over and over in '94... And just like Duke kept not blocking out guys for boards, look what happened to UNC. Moore for an EASY putback for the win.

4. Good FT shooting continues. 76.5%, I'll take that any day. And of course, there was the one that they intentionally missed. Anyone remember that?

5. I'm too happy to be critical. 9F 9F 9F 9F

Maybe I deserve a little as well. Returned home from a two-week trip and turned the game on with six minutes left in regulation. Mentally conceded the game to UNC. And then,....

That was like watching the Rivers game x gone in 60 seconds.

What just happened? Twice?

Tre’s 2 best plays were both missed FT

[dalmatians98]

Love this team. Thank you Tre and thank you Wendell! I'm one of those hopeless romantics who believes the good guys usually find a way to win. What an evening!

[jv001]

I think it was BillyDat or budwom that said, we were are a better team when we use all 10 players and I think that was especially so tonight. The guys showed HEART and GUTS tonight and they never gave up. Alex, Joey and Jordan all stepped up in their own way. Great team win with Tre leading the way at the end of regulation and OT. Now ESPN can show a Duke vs. Uncheat OT game that the good guys won.

GoDuke!

Oh, the cheats won almost every block-charge call tonight. Teddy stepping up his game.

Is there a link to K’s presser?

[CTDukeFan]

Definitely better than the Austin Rivers game. The Heels were convinced at the end of regulation and OT they were going to win, only to have the good guys pull it out.
Really nice intentional miss on the free throw at the end of regulation.

And nice "pass" from Tre to Moore to win the game. Does Tre get credit for an assist there?

[BLPOG]

live postgame, I think Coach K is coming up unless I already missed him (Roy just finished)

[MChambers]

Let’s give some credit to Jon Scheyer. Tre, in his post game interview, said that he discussed the last second free throw situation, and they practiced the play.

Bet Ol’ Roy says in his press conference that defending that play was the last thing they practiced Friday.

Although, Rivers shot was iconic, this one will probably sting UNC even more. And that’s why it’s so good. They needed this win, so bad. They had it right there, twice. And then they lost. You could already hear them talking about this win starting them on a run, now they are guaranteed a losing ACC record, Cole Anthony is 0-3 since returning, and ESPN has another highlight to kill them with for years to come.

[Rickshaw]

9 f’ing F!

Just think, two of their three best players were sitting on the bench having fouled out.

[Newton_14]

Unreal! Outplayed and out hustled for most of the initial 40 minutes, lose Vernon, get down 13 and K goes small and everything changed. Cheats missing free throws and got tight when the score got close. For the final two minutes of regulation and first two minutes of OT Tre was just destroying Cole. Then he totally ran out of gas.

I could not believe Roy didn't choose to pound it inside when we had no bigs on the floor but glad he didn't. I'm with CDu! That took 10 years off my life!!

A comeback for the ages! Ripped their hearts out given the season they have had and how they man handled us for 37 minutes!

Stunner!!

Tre Stones indeed!!

[DukieInKansas]

Thank you, Blue Devils! So glad I left work so I could watch in real time instead of DVR delay. Not sure I set the DVR for enough extra time anyway.

[Dr. Rosenrosen]

IC is not a happy place right now.
That sorta depends on who your team is... I found it to be delightful. :cool:

[Pghdukie]

Happy for AOC and Joey Buckets. They contributed and hopefully this will increase their confidence levels !
What a game ! I wonder what his Airness is thinking about this loss !

[jipops]

Tre Jones just became the leader this team needs.

K’s play calling, or lack thereof has been frustrating. And the defense seems to be degrading. The ppp allowed in 4 of the last 5 games has not been good. Hopefully some of this is due to road play.

Huge home game coming up.

[Acymetric]

Is there a link to K’s presser?

If you have TuneIn you can get it, just search "Duke Basketball". It's a phone app, don't know if you can do it on a PC through a browser or not.

[roywhite]

That last basket was reminiscent of Dereck Whittenburg to Lorenzo Charles.

What a great pass by Tre. :o

1974, 8 points in 17 seconds.

we just won our 3rd strait ACC road game. That's a good place to be in. IMHO (where the H is in the same place where UNC's jockstrap used to be).


At the end, they looked about as good as they possibly can. Well, maybe except 82-50.

And we were in difficult straits in all three games.

Only 1 thought so far : GO TO HELL CAROLINA

[dbcooper]

I love how they ripped their hearts out at the last second.....again, Somewhere Austin Rivers is smiling!!:D:D:D

Go Duke!

[scottdude8]

My dog is terrified. My neighbors probably hate me. And my phone died right as the game ended so I couldn’t come celebrate with you all.

But WOW.

Tre is now a legend. Period. End of sentence.

[sagegrouse]

Hang those unis in the closet for another hundred years.

Worst thing is that these uniforms may not be retired, as they would have been after a loss.

Yeah, I was one of those pessimistic guys. I'm delighted to be wrong.

[thedukelamere]

At the end of the day, we got the W. I love you all.

Sure I smacked my 3 year old to the ground with a high five after Stones 2.0 sent it to overtime, but that's just what happens in this rivalry.

[BigZ]

This reminded me of the 2015 win at Cameron

[duke74]

1974, 8 points in 17 seconds.

Was a senior then. Remember throwing my shoe at the TV

[duke2x]

9F. Sometimes less is Moore.

[duke79]

IC is not a happy place right now.

LOL, no surprise there! Are they talking about firing ole'Roy?

[jv001]

Maybe I deserve a little as well. Returned home from a two-week trip and turned the game on with six minutes left in regulation. Mentally conceded the game to UNC. And then,...

And then came JONES, slow walking JONES. A little Coasters music for Tre.

GoDuke!

[devildeac]

1974, 8 points in 17 seconds.

Exactly. Much better flavor to this one.

[DUKIE V(A)]

An early start on the Plays of the Decade.

Tre Stones was cash from the line. Six makes for six points. And three misses for an additional six points. 😀

[dukelifer]

Credit me for turning it on with 1 minute left in regulation.

Credit me for leaving the game down 13.

[CameronBlue]

K’s play calling, or lack thereof has been frustrating. And the defense seems to be degrading. The ppp allowed in 4 of the last 5 games has not been good. Hopefully some of this is due to road play.

Huge home game coming up.

Agreed. Duke up 5 with the ball in overtime, K missed a perfect opportunity to call a play. Instead Tre jacked up a 3 at least 3 feet behind the line...WIDE RIGHT infamously came to mind. He just had no legs for it at that point. Perfect time for a Coach to help his tired team across the finish line.

[Onlyduke]

That interview was epic. Thanking his coach, who is a legend. And name-dropping the DBR nickname for another legend. Awesome

Where can I see the Tre Jones interview after the game? I was too busy jumping around to see it.

[proelitedota]

Rebounding your own missed FT and converting should be run more. :rolleyes:

What a win. This is like Rivers game + 2015 home game in one.

[BigZ]

UNC never had possession of the ball since leading by five w 21 seconds left

[Devilwin]

Refs were bad for both teams. I think Wendell fouled Playtek, but Brooks certainly fouled Stanley on that layup attempt. Carolina absolutely outplayed Duke for most of the game, But Tre put the team on his back and here we went. He obviously ran out of gas, but managed, along with Moore to bring the win home..

[CDu]

At the end of the day, we got the W. I love you all.

Sure I smacked my 3 year old to the ground with a high five after Stones 2.0 sent it to overtime, but that's just what happens in this rivalry.

So glad that last sentence didn’t end with “to the ground”!

[devildeac]

Come join us an hoist a glass or three.

Edit: Y'all really *might* want to check post #24182 (IIRC) in the Ymm, Beer thread tonight. Very classy.

[fan345678]

Should Roy get fired for fouling while up 3?

[Mtn.Devil.91.92.01.10.15]

If Tre doesn't win MOTM in unanimous fashion, I blame the Russians.

[weezie]

presser won't play for me. Any locals have another link?

[UrinalCake]

I’ve always thought that fouling when you’re up three is a terrible coaching move. Glad to be proven right!

What heart by the team to fight and fight. UNC was playing out of their minds. Keeling and Pierce shoot like 20% from the field (not really), they’re the guys you want taking shots when you’re on defense, but tonight they could miss. I’ve watched a fair number of UNC games this season, and the team that showed up tonight was NOTHING like what they’ve been all season. Duke took their best shot, had immense foul trouble, and a huge deficit, but found a way to get it done.

People bring up the Rivers game, but this reminded me more of the 2016 game when Matt Jones got injured, MP3 was our only big and picked up 4 fouls with 10 minutes left, and we still managed to steal a win. It wasn’t pretty but man this feels good.

[mkirsh]

Great last 3 minutes of regulation and OT, but that was an AWFUL first 37 mins. Poor defensive rotations, no defensive rebounding, and stagnant offense. And UNC made everything they threw up, especially in mid range which Duke seemed to be conceding. I don’t get why K had them doubling the post or why we couldn’t get the ball to Carey effectively. But the small ball lineup on offense and defense was brilliant. Totally changed the game. Great efforts by our “closing 5” - Tre, Moore, AOC, Baker, Goldwire.

[BLPOG]

presser won't play for me. Any locals have another link?

It just finished, but WRAL (https://www.wralsportsfan.com/duke/) will probably put up a copy of the video in a few minutes. I think they've already done so for Roy's interview.

[DukieInKansas]

Just to keep the sports are great feeling going - they are replaying the KC Chiefs Super Bowl Parade. It has been a good sports week around here.

[hallcity]

In case it hasn’t been said already, I think our PG can now be called Tre Stones.

[fisheyes]

1974, 8 points in 17 seconds.

Without a three point line. 🤦🏼I'm a real wanker for saying this.♂️

[SkyBrickey]

Best Carolina game I’ve seen in 35 years.

Two epic comebacks.

Tre was MOTM, but Wendell with two huge plays in that final sequence. The tip out and the put back winner. Outstanding effort.

[HereBeforeCoachK]

If Tre doesn't win MOTM in unanimous fashion, I blame the Russians.

...and yet he did miss some FTs and shot a terrible airball at a terrible time.......but all's well that ends well....and this ended VERY well indeed

[jv001]

Agreed. Duke up 5 with the ball in overtime, K missed a perfect opportunity to call a play. Instead Tre jacked up a 3 at least 3 feet behind the line...WIDE RIGHT infamously came to mind. He just had no legs for it at that point. Perfect time for a Coach to help his tired team across the finish line.

I think Coach might have made up for that with some very good moves at the end.

GoDuke!

[crdaul]

Does 7 points in 16 seconds put to rest 8 points in 17? I think so...

[AtlBluRew]

Where can I see the Tre Jones interview after the game? I was too busy jumping around to see it.

It’s on ESPN.com, if you go to Scores, make the obvious choice, and then choose Videos

[DarkstarWahoo]

One thing that I’ve always enjoyed about Coach K is how much he seems to want to talk to Roy when he beats UNC. It’s always these long handshakes where he’s clearly relishing it. It’s so delightfully petty and it’s maybe the trait of his I identify the most with.

[willowglen]

Rebounding your own missed FT and converting should be run more. :rolleyes:

What a win. This is like Rivers game + 2015 home game in one.

I am deciding just how sinful it may be to revel in the comments on the Inside Carolina board. There is some great unexplained pro Duke ref conspiracy.

[Bluedog]

Let’s give some credit to Jon Scheyer. Tre, in his post game interview, said that he discussed the last second free throw situation, and they practiced the play.

Yeah that was some major basketball IQ there. Took the shot quickly out of typical rythym so UNC wasn't ready for it and also did the bullet off front of the rim instead of soft bounce. Just genius really. Now I know a lot of people hate the Patriots but it's reminiscent of that. Talking about and practicing plays that other teams don't think about but can be critical in the end. Amazing preparation and execution on that one by Tre! My oh my, what a game!!

[SkyBrickey]

And so cool to see both AOC and Baker in there at winning time. I hope we can swing back toward our 10 man rotation that was so dominating on D early in the year.

[BLPOG]

It’s on ESPN.com, if you go to Scores, make the obvious choice, and then choose Videos

[Bluedog]

I am deciding just how sinful it may be to revel in the comments on the Inside Carolina board. There is some great unexplained pro Duke ref conspiracy.

I'll admit I was pretty shocked that Teddy V didn't call a foul at the end there knowing how he loves to make those with some authority. I do think we benefited from a couple key calls at the end that may have been questionable but certainly UNC did as well throughout the game...they [UNC fans] just can't look at themselves [team] so have to blame an outside source.

[jipops]

I vote for a shorter rotation and small ball the rest of the season. Put Moore at the 4 with Jones, Stanley, and Goldwire on the perimeter. The defense with the current lineup is just not working.

The offense is likely to keep consisting of one-on-one clearouts. I don’t see K budging much from that.

UNC got absolutely jobbed on that uncalled Moore foul on Platek. But they should be thankful they get to blame the refs instead of Platek when he inevitably missed both FTs. 😁

Of course, they’ll ignore the uncalled Brooks foul on the block of Stanley’s layup, the bad foul call on the loose ball right after, the no call when Baker got thrown down by Brooks on an offensive putback by Pierce, the numerous no calls on Carey’s shot attempts in the 2nd half, etc. As Bilas said all night while ignoring missed fouls on UNC that resulted in Duke turnovers (at least until the uncalled Moore play), the winning team is just “stronger with the ball.”

Duke had no business winning that game, much less forcing OT, especially when Carey fouled out.

UNC couldn’t miss - nearly 60% from the field. But they also nearly shot worse from the FT line than from the field. Duke couldn’t score - not until they went small ball and basically ran a hurry up offense down the stretch.

Lots of lucky bounces at the end of regulation and OT. Probably the best way to beat UNC - let them think they’ve won and snatch their hearts from their chests. 2nd best is a blowout.

Unfortunately, the scheduling gods have Duke playing FSU on Monday. Not a ton of time to recover from the bumps and bruises and weary legs from an intense, physical rivalry game to one against one of the most athletic teams in the league this year. UNC gets to play Wake on Tues. Gotta wonder who did that...

[tfk53]

Texting with my UNC grad son during the game, basically conceding things after Carey fouled out down 13. He says too early. I, trying to be the nice father, say not much of a chance at close to end of regulation. Then Tre does his stones thing. Of course, he says heels will lose by 6 in OT. Then it looks like heels have it in the bag at the end of OT as it looks like Duke is shooting airballs. Then texted , sorry, my son. He says par for the course this season.

I must say that the heels looked like a completely different team today for 36+ minutes. Will be glad when Cole goes to the NBA.

It is in the genes for the Jones bros. Put team on your back...

I liked Carey shaking Williams's hand.

[FerryFor50]

And so cool to see both AOC and Baker in there at winning time. I hope we can swing back toward our 10 man rotation that was so dominating on D early in the year.

Would have been nice to see Baker knock down that wide open three to tie it, but all’s well that ends well.

I'm sure it's already been said but it bears repeating: EXACTLY 8 years ago #0 Austin Rivers sinks a game winner at the buzzer on UNC's home court and today #0 Wendell Moore sinks a game winnder at the buzzer on UNC's home court.

I'll take every win, but Cheats probably got robbed in the end with the non-call foul on Wendell. But what amazing heart by our team. This isn't quite like the comeback at Louisville last year because they gave it away at the charity stripe, but I love the fact that we never gave up.

I really wish we would start games better, which we will HAVE to do against FSU.

One thing that I’ve always enjoyed about Coach K is how much he seems to want to talk to Roy when he beats UNC. It’s always these long handshakes where he’s clearly relishing it. It’s so delightfully petty and it’s maybe the trait of his I identify the most with.

Now, now, WE all know K is just congratulating Roy for not blowing an artery out. K is always congratulating teams when he beats them.

[jv001]

The shot went in and out. So close to going in and I said to myself it just seems like its meant to be. But alas. Duke rips their hearts out.

The shooter can’t break the plane of the FT line until the ball hits the rim.

Otherwise I don’t think there are any restrictions.

[DukieInKansas]

I saw that and kept waiting for Jay to say he hadn't touched it first.

Thank you. I knew there was some rule just didn't know the specifics.

[WakeDevil]

Seven points in 21 seconds. Makes me think about a game in the 70s...

But, this time the good guys win.

As you know, that was the year McGeachy had the team. My friends, mostly UNC fans, were ready to go to the Boys Club. It was over. I said no because I wanted to stay and enjoy the ending. Duke got the lead in overtime but could not hold it. I threw a chair, had it stick in the wall and walked out the door. They knew not to follow.

[Bluedog]

I have a question on the missed free throw - I thought you couldn't get your own missed free throw. Did I make that up or is it only if you rebound it in the paint?

You can rebound it in the paint too. Other players get to leave lane when ball is released from hand, player shooting has to wait until it hits the rim so is just much less likely to rebound it. Genius play by Tre. Needed that when RJ went to the line in the E8 last year.

[kako]

I'll take every win, but Cheats probably got robbed in the end with the non-call foul on Wendell.

Bad calls are a part of the game. JD got fouled vs. Washington. Boozer got fouled vs. IU... Gonzaga got jobbed in the NCAA championship, Meeks' hand was on the baseline... It happens. Don't complain when it happens to you, because sooner or later you'll benefit as well, and visa versa. The key is to win the game and not be in a position to let the refs make a bad call. Carolina failed at that, thanks to Mr. Jones.

1. I said it in the in-game over and over - you just gotta believe!!! As bad as Duke can play in any game, any year, I learned my final lesson last year at Louisville. Never, ever count Duke out completely. It may take a miracle, but K can push Duke into miracle situations all the f'ing time!!!! Yet ANOTHER comeback against the Heels for the win!



Just glad you and I never doubted! ;)

I loved that the intentional free throw miss was more like a chest pass — he really controlled the trajectory and angle of rebound that way, more than trying to “shoot” it off the front or back iron. Genius.

Does 7 points in 16 seconds put to rest 8 points in 17? I think so...

No, no, no.

Watching that Moore/Platek non-foul call over and over. Bilas is flat out wrong. Platek ran into Moore retrieving the pass. Moore had just as much right of path to it as Platek. Bilas is just plain wrong. Wendell wasn’t bodying away Platek for the ball. It was actually the other way around.

Gritty comeback for the good guys. The small ball lineup worked and I think it adds an additional layer of what we can do when Vernon is resting or in foul trouble. I won’t critique too much more but there’s a lot of work to be done. Our depth is our strength. I hope this game shows K to trust his bench.

Finally, for all the “fairweather, woe is me, Duke is terrible” fans, please please please come back next season. We’re good here and the board is better without you.

And the most remarkable thing was that Moore had the presence of mind to call for the ball. I THINK that was a shot from Tre rather than a pass, but I can't be sure. No matter, in any case. Moore was where he knew he had to be. Game over. GTHC, GTh!

I’m actually going to go against consensus here and politely disagree with the certainty most people have that Platek was fouled. The replay indicates he probably was (though replay couldn’t be used to change the foul call), but in real time, Wendell was making a play on the ball and they collided shoulder to shoulder. Furthermore, Platek was being rewarded all game for falling to the ground easily on the slightest contact (the Stanley foul toward the end of regulation, the fifth foul on Carey).

I do get that Platek earned the charge on Carey by the way college charges are called, but in the NBA a guard falling on slight contact with a big would be ignored unless he absolutely had perfect position and absorbed the full impact of a bigger player’s drive, because NBA officials don’t reward guards simply for being smaller and lighter and easier to knock down than bigs. I get the sense that the officials wanted to swallow their whistle on that scramble for the loose ball between Moore and Platek and allowed a little more contact than usual, and I thought it was justified. Obviously I would have been annoyed if the same thing happened between say, Baker and Brooks...oh wait, the refs did ignore that!

What a game. I’m absolutely beside myself wondering how we stole that. That said, my customary pessimism and fatalism about the result was more tempered, because the year Carolina is having reminds me so much of what Duke went through in 94-95. We found so many ways to lose with K out, and I will never forget how frequently the faces of our players turned ashen when things started going badly and games were close in the final minutes. Heels had that same deer in headlights tightness in the way they shot their FTs and started giving up layups to us after defending so well all game. They fought incredibly hard and played a bit above their heads, but the weight of the team’s failures and the program’s reputation just sent them to the bottom of the ocean by the end of it all.

Duke was absolutely pounded in most statistical categories. Unc shot 36-69 (52.2%) overall to Duke’s 34-80 (42.5%). 3-point shooting was horrendous for both teams. Unc out rebounded Duke 51-42. Unc out assisted Duke 23-15. Unc out blocked Duke 5-2. Duke did commit 6 less turnovers.

But Duke was money from the FT line at 26-34 (76.5%) to unc’s 21-38 (55.3%).

I am convinced if the roles were reversed and Wendell Moore was receiving the pass, Bilas would have said “ maybe a foul, but refs don’t call that at end of game and Duke should be stronger with the ball.”

[Bluedog]

Ending regulation and OT in that manner has my vote for the GOAT Duke/UNC game!

I mean, ESPN win probability (as linked above) had UNC as 98.3% chance to win near the end of regulation and 97.2% near end of OT. So the chance of overcoming both is what, like .05%. or 1 in 2000? That is insane.

Bilas blows

The fact that this is the first comment is hilarious. Bilas was at his worst.

More importantly, duke gutted out a win that I will remember for a long time. Gratz to the whole team.

I will however say they won even though they weren’t the best team for 90% of the game. Tarheels had their best shooting night of the entire season. Duke had one of their bad shooting nights, which has become a too frequent occurrence for my liking. Carey carried us in first half, Jones in second, and both are stars in my firmament. Our small ball unit rocked. I can sleep well tonight.

Furthermore, Platek was being rewarded all game for falling to the ground easily on the slightest contact (the Stanley foul toward the end of regulation, the fifth foul on Carey).


All this is true......if there was a camera angle from Wendell's left instead of his right, it would IMO look like he kind of got to the ball at the same time....Platek got his hands on it first, but both were charging the ball from different angles, and Platek certainly didn't have possession. Besides, without a 14 foot FT stripe.....he wouldn't hit it anyway....

[dukelifer]

Duke was very fortunate but the basketball gods make these games incredibly close. I said in the pre game thread that anything can happen- and it really did. The whole comeback was crazy and highly unlikely. UNC shot a bit out of their heads- Duke played poorly for most of the game but they found a way. Last year UVa should have lost several games in their tourney run- but they found a way. I hope Duke can handle the short turnaround. Tre is going to be one tired kid.

I don't wanna hear JACK SQUAT from Unc fan-boy Bilas or any Carolina fans about that no-call on the Moore/Platek play at the end because Carolina got away with soooo many fouls that weren't called the whole game. I wonder how many fast break points they got from fouling us (without a whistle) to knock the ball loose on many of our drives?

Thank goodness for Tre, Vernon and Wendell! Even though he bricked a seemingly easy shot, I thought Goldwire was big for us, too. And Javin got some big boards at key moments, too. Whew, what a game!!!

[CoachJ10]

Was the 94-95 double OT game (can see me in the crowd past Capel shot). As amazing as that game was, I like this outcome just a tad better.

Throw out the criticisms about the poor play (which there was plenty of) ...this was college basketball at its best. Heart and emotion.

And for anyone who had any benefit of the doubt left for Bilas...after tonight, that benefit should be good. He was not just terrible...his outright advocacy for the Tarholes throughout the game was nauseating.

PS not going to to lie...Jerry Stackhouse had a dunk in that 94/95 game that was probably the best Ive ever seen in person.

[Steven43]

Refs were horrible. Absolutely horrible across the board both sides of the ball. Carolina uncharacteristically couldn't miss! Just couldn't miss! And we won, can't believe it.

According to Kenpom our probability of winning with ~2 minutes left in regulation was 2.3%. Then with ~21 secs left in OT it was 3.5%. Our probability of coming back from both? 0.08%, or 1 in 1,242. Talk about about pulling rabbits out..

You made it up. Shooter just can’t cross the line until the ball hits the rim. Tre chucked it as soon as the ref handed it to him giving no one else on either team a chance.

I'm not sure why I remember it so clearly, but Marty Clark had a similar follow shot on I believe a Grant Hill miss to beat Notre Dame in Cameron in early 1994, except I think Grant's shot was closer to going in.

Coming off this tough game, Florida State on a quick turnaround Monday is going to be extremely challenging, but I am glad it is coming off a win.

UNC did what they do well for a large part of the game. They run the floor and beat our defense back, they seemed to have more guys going for the rebounds and getting there more quickly and they shot well (better than normal because many shots were not well defended.

On the other hand, they were poor from the FT line while Duke was quite good.

As far as fouls, I don't think it is realistic to point out one call and indicate it was favorable and was the reason for a win or loss. I thought UNC got away with many fouls on Carey and Stanley and they more than balanced any of the few questionable calls in which Duke got the benefit.

Tre played a lot of minutes and willed the team back into the game. He did look exhausted toward the end and tried to make plays when he had 3 point shooters open. In the end though, he was the main reason we got the miracle win.

Lots of guys can feel proud of their contributions. Hope we can get more from Hurt in the next meeting. He has abilities but they didn't show tonight.

Crazy stats.

Unc had won 119 straight home games when leading at halftime by 5 or more. Since the Pitt game in January they have lost 3 in the same situation.

This is also the first time since the 78-79 season that Duke has won 3 consecutive games when all 3 were on the road.

I think if UNC doesn’t elect to foul Tre when up 3, Duke probably doesn’t get a good shot off and UNC wins the game. Duke only made 4 3s the whole game.

They did whatever to my thread.... whatever but we need to pull Carey out the paint. It opens up our offense

Bilas is a traitor, I really appreciate if he doesn't call anymore of our games

Question about the box score at the Duke site. I was looking at rebounding. When doing so, never go by the totals because the opportunities might be different. Ken Pomeroy has a method to determine who "won" rebounding but that's another subject.

The box has "team" offensive and defensive rebounds, but the bottom right has deadball rebounds with Duke getting one and and UNC getting 9,1. That does not correspond to the numbers in the rebounding column. Does anyone from the SID office post here?

BTW, if the nine represents OR, UNC probably was better on the boards than we thought.

Although, Rivers shot was iconic, this one will probably sting UNC even more. And that’s why it’s so good. They needed this win, so bad. They had it right there, twice. And then they lost. You could already hear them talking about this win starting them on a run, now they are guaranteed a losing ACC record, Cole Anthony is 0-3 since returning, and ESPN has another highlight to kill them with for years to come.

actually UNC could theoretically end up w a winning ACC record I think; they are 3-9 league. 8 to go. COULD go 11-9. my guess remains 8-12 or so. 15-16 overall?

Don't think dead ball rebounds are counted in the box.

Good referees let the players decide the game.

Boozer was fouled!

Pretty funny that on Duke IG the picture that they include on the "Duke wins" graphic is Joey going up for a dunk...that he ends up missing. But hey I guess it is a good pic.

thought about that.. and FSU coming in on one day turn.! If we can get by FSU (after an OT emotional game) we are looking good. honestly though I would trade a loss to FSU for this gut-check win over UNC which has to kill them !

Watched that replay many times tonight, am I the only one who isn’t seeing that as a foul?

LMAO the Duke IG account is trolling hard right now. Someone point them to some plays at the end of regulation and OT that would probably be better candidates ;)

No, you're not alone. I did not think Stanley got fouled on that one. There were plenty of times the refs swallowed their whistles tonight that benefited the cheaters but I didn't feel that was one of them.

We are so lucky to have had so many classy players in the past, and Tre is another in a long line of clutch guards that played at Duke. But watching Coach K’s presser shows where all of our success really comes from. He recognizes the good play of our opponents, credits the things in our team that matter more than just athletic talent - things like “will”, “passion”, and “leadership”. He gets emotional recognizing the tradition that Dean Smith started at Carolina (and that he has emulated at Duke) of building a “family” of devoted and loyal players and fans. How lucky we are to be a part of the Duke family!
