The completed the season sweep of their longtime rival, defeating the 84-79 on Saturday at Cameron Indoor Stadium. With the win, North Carolina clinched the ACC regular-season championship. But it wouldn’t be a Duke-UNC rivalry game without some added drama.

They’re rightfully the ACC champions, and still have an outside shot at a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
