Coach K’s first loss, last loss at home, and last loss as a coach all against UNC. Sheeeeeesh no mercy!
Go heels
Karma
Last ACC loss and last NCAAT loss too.
He has a winning record vs UNC
Yes sir
Roy Williams being there has serious “went to my biggest hater’s funeral just to make sure he was dead” energy. 😂 15:40
ha!!

Think the KU faithful will have a chorus for him tomorrow night. No, not a good one. Bill Self will be seen smiling during what could be a raucous scene. Network coverage to ignore of course.
Looked n his casket feeling sarcastic look at'em still sleeping
Aside for the championships this is the biggest win in Carolina history. Huge win Go Heels
this was bigger. The championshi[s were never against duke this game matters more than the championship
Na... This was a big game,no doubt. But it’s not on the same level as a national championship. Even tho it is in the final four,it’s just not a national title. If we would’ve beat duke in the nat-champ game that would’ve been a completely diff story... I’m not even sure i can put that into words lol.
@@alohasnackbar5619 Bad take. Nothing beats the championship. Ever.
Duke choked!!! Missing two free throws in the final minute?!? What does that idiot do in practice all year round. Obviously not practicing free throws . Coach K deserved better.
@@ransom6892 If they go on to win the championship though this game may be bigger than the final. If they lose to Kansas then I agree this isn't as big of a game as the past championships
This has to go down as the greatest Duke North Carolina game of all time.
Were you alive in '74? 8 points in 17 seconds. A decade before the 3-point shot.
@@bonniewilsoncarlson I wasn’t but I heard that game was incredible
My vote goes to Hansboro's bloody game, that was so exciting to watch.
This showed the importance of Free Throw shooting. UNC made 6 of their last 8 FTs, Duke missed 4 of their last 6 FTs, and UNC won by 4.
IT'S JUNE 3, 2022 AND I'M WATCHING AGAIN FOR THE 20+ TIME. HISTORICAL MOMENT, UNC STRONG.
Fr
I know right 🤣
Me too
Carolina may not have won the battle, but they sure did win the war with Duke...just a few months and we'll be back there again!!!
August 7 and still watching lol
This will go down as one the greatest final four games ever.
please tell me how 1 good game out of 2 would make this even close to any of the greatest final fours
+Jennifer H The Kansas-Villanova game wasn't very good
lol. it absolutely will not. do you have any idea what kind of final fours there have been? this is not top 25. none of the teams are that great. the kansas villa game was a disappointment and this one was decided by a bad foul call.
@@michaelfarkas2257 unc just played better
@@michaelfarkas2257 How to spot a true idiot
Caleb Love has no fear in the big moments. That's a quality trait that not everyone has. He was just 2/9 from deep and when it came time to sink the dagger he didn't hesitate.
Was missing all game, and you're right..no fear or hesitation when he put up that one at the end. What a game!
I like he didn't give up & used the drive 2 get his rhythm & confidence goin
Seems like a lot of times he's money in the second half.
He's been doing that for them all tournament too. The dude is clutch
@@jeepman-nu9ls seems like?.... He is money in the second half!
Between this game and beating Duke at Cameron in Coach K's final home game, this may be the first time in sports history a team has "WON" a rivalry. Because there's nothing Duke could do in the next 20 years to come back from this
This was the biggest game ever in college basketball. The only thing that could've made it better is if Dean Smith was there.
Too bad only Wendell Moore and Coach K shook hands of the players. Shameful the other DUKE players walked away like SORE losers. Disrespecting Coach K Like that.
I believe he was. When Hubert conserved his timeouts and down the stretch he used them to calm down his team and to set up defenses Dean was there. Hubert learned from the best and this victory had Dean, Guthridge and Roy's finger prints all over it. The torch was passed to the right man and keeping it in the family preserves the Carolina Way. Dean would be proud.
C Smith. I would never expect better. Perfect Ending!!! GO HEELS!!!!
@@csmith2321 as a Duke fan that was disrespectful from my Blue Devils. That’s what took away from this classic heated rivalry.
Ever?? Shut up
As a Heel fan I will cherish this forever but mad respect for Coach K. College basketball won’t be the same without him
I THINK DUKE WILL CHERISH .THIS ONE SWEPT UNC AND GOT THE ACC CHAMPIONSHIP 2023
This Carolina team is special they were not playing good at the beginning of the season but never gave up and proved everyone wrong
It's been said, "It's not how you start, it's how you finish."
just like the 05 team
Shout out to Wendell Moore jr for going through the handshake line
Nah he shouldn’t of
@@cloading3563 Salty lollll
I don’t remember UNC going through the line w KU either, but I don’t hold it against them. Great game w a tough ending ( for me). Congrats to the Heels, though.
Coach K is one of the greatest coaches in the history of the game, but if anyone ever always looked angry or that he smelled something bad it is he.
He wasn’t that way in earlier years of coaching. But in the later years, always. Angry man.
@Thomas... What?! Lol.Dudes been like that since day one.Thats who he is. You’ve never seen his sideline reactions after all this time?? He’s a Bob Knight disciple.
He’s an old racist boomer.
Best coach ever was Coach K, as in Bob Knight. Then Dean, Mike K and Wooden.
The Heels stole that rats cheese.
Love with the clutch 3 and hitting 4 foul shots sealed the deal. Incredible game on both sides. I’m so proud of my Heels! Hats off to coach K and all that he has done for the game. Best rivalry in sports hands down.
he missed 1
Barca vs Madrid bigger
If you’re not American…
@@taylorpearce5007 But I am ….🇺🇸
This was college basketball at its finest. As the game has changed over the years... one thing remains true... this tournament is some type of special, man. To have Duke/UNC in the final four for coach K's final game.. and then to deliver a game like this. This game will live on with legendary status for generations. It is not a recent bias to say that this was/is one of the greatest college basketball games of all time.
not even close
@@tonylvez what's not even close ?
This is the greatest rivalry. No college rivalry compares to the intensity AND consistency of this one.
Hubert Davis to Coach K after the game m.kzhead.info/sun/fqiphMWPpH-NqpE/bejne.html
Maybe osu Michigan. But this one is far more competitive
@@jsunh98 Nah. OSU-Michigan has nothing on this rivalry. Unlike OSU-Michigan, the UNC-Duke rivalry is consistent.
@@jsunh98 in football yes. in basketball no.
Ohio State Michigan
INSTANT CLASSIC! Just wish them Duke players did not act like sore losers and shook hands in the end. Respect to Coach K for staying till the very end and showing respect to UNC. Happy retirement Coach K!
Wendell Moore Jr. shook hands with everyone.
Lol they was mad
So much emotion in that moment... it's easy to say we would all do the right thing, but IMO, until we're in that moment, it's hard to speculate about. Had the roles been reversed & UNC won, I wouldn't have blamed them for walking off while the opposition celebrates either. Like you said, though, an instant classic!
@@EthanMcAlpin your saying UNC would've won either way my guy
Coach Davis. Congratulations you did good job 👍. Coach of the year.
@SAKURA say anything else bro. I think people get the point with the first 20 times you typed that.
Words cannot describe the amount of stress and agony I was experiencing. I was losing my mind. When it got down to 18 seconds and we were up, I was so sure my heart would jump out. I literally said to myself "we're up, I'm not moving from this spot. . .I'm staying here until the final score cause this spot is helping us." When that final score flashed and Carolina won, I was sure my neighbors downstairs would call the cops cause of how loud I was!!!
What do Duke and UNC students have in common? They both applied to Duke.
Thank you for staying in that spot! Can’t believe they even made it this far. I love this team so much!!
@@jaguo1399 😂😂i did the same I died three times tonight
Pure cardiac game.
The last 3 possessions of the game bancero there driving force for creating or getting baskets never touched the ball manek shut tht down it was great defense those last 3 possessions and puff Johnson boxing out bancero for tht last rebound I swear I had to check my heart beat after tht final buzzer
KZhead has more than 800 million videos on the website. This is my favorite one.
As a Carolina fan, it felt like I aged 10 years watching this game it was so exhilarating
Will NEVER get old retiring k twice in the same season
I could watch this a million times and I'd still love every dribble of it! 🤣🤣 NC handed K his first loss over 15,000 days ago when this game was played, and they handed him his last loss to end his career. I LOVE IT!! 💙💙
Still no natty though!!!!!!!!!!😂

It’s June 12 and I’m watching again
first and last losses for K's career... Only meeting in the final four with UNC and he loses... Still can't believe it
it’s November…😅
It's June 20th 2023 5:08 pm
21 flippin rebounds I'm blew that's just ridiculously raw in the paint of the glass
Armando Bacot is a monster reminds me a lot of Rob Williams lll both undersized centers lacking on shooting who make up for it with amazing defense and athleticism as well as cleaning up on all the boards
Big shout out to Puff Johnson somehow holding off Banchero on that missed free throw to help seal the game. He's made some significant contributions. Got us a bucket when we desperately needed it when Bacot was out. Pretty much the only help off the bench in this entire run besides Style's 3 against Baylor.
I caught that too. Because if paulo grasps that, things were about to transpire. Either a kick out to an open 3, or a putback and a likely and 1.
That’s the play of the game along with the Love shot, it’s tied for me I definitely agree
Haven’t watch UNC basketball or even college basketball since Marcus Paige was at UNC but decided to watch again this year I’m happy for UNC they have themselves some boys that can play.
Miss those years when Marcus was there. Him and Joel Berry was a crazy duo.
You didn’t watch the championship run in 2017?

Rewatching this clip, you really get to see so much stuff that transpired that goes unspoken about that truly could have changed this game's outcome or sent it to OT. rewatching the game in its entirety will be fun for the same reasons. Agonizing, yet fun as a basketball fan.
It's so cool to watch Coach Davis on the sideline orchestrating that shot by Love. He called the pick by Black .. Beautiful stuff We live for this stuff!!!
Shout out to Wendell Moore on being the only player to shake hands with the other team
I can’t remember being any happier than after this game. I had just said the same thing after the game in Durham. It’s late summer now and I’m still watching occasionally. It still feels great! Go Heels!
UK fan here. Respect North Carolina and their legacy. Love watching anyone beat duke. Lol
One of the greatest games ever!!! GO HEELS!!!!! Biggest game between Carolina & Duke and UNC comes out on top :)
I was shocked because they(duke) outplayed us totally in the reg season.
@@deanbenford7363 on the first game. Look at the result for K's final game at Cameron Indoor
NC sends Coach K into a happy retirement. 😁
At 12:51 coach k wanted to cry of anger 😂🤣
Johnson 2 free throws and box out was HUGE...Hubert set up D in the timeout while Love was shooting!
the brutality of this Duke loss is sad, this UNC team bit them in their last home game, and now, Coach K's last game, also ended by UNC.
Sad??? Actually, it is hilarious.
Duke’s starting guards got outplayed by Love and Davis. Same thing 4 weeks ago at Cameron, same thing happened again.
Shouldn't this be titled, "The final minutes of Coach rat's career?" Hubert sent him out like Dean Smith welcomed him to the game
💯💯💯😂
STILL CATCHING CHILLS OVER THIS GAME... GO TARHEELS!!!!!
This was a bar fight
Too bad they couldn't win it all huh? Lol. No no..much love for the Heels.
Did you catch chills today. Got swept by Duke. Then took the L against virginia
Congrats to k for approaching the level of UNC. He came close...very close, in winning, but not so close in culture, family and all the things "brotherhood" hoped to achieve.
Such a classic game...I can't believe that UNC and Duke met in the Final Four (where they have never each other played before) and it was Coach K's final game.....
this was the most stressful game every in my time as a tar heels fan but I was so relieved when we won!
Got swept this year by Duke. Was the best feeling. Then unc lost in the tournament best feeling again. Unc is trash
Man shoutout to Puff for that perfect boxout @ 12:41. Besides Love’s 3, that might have been the biggest play of the game
Puff underrated IMO
Yep, I hated that he gave up and transferred to Penn...
I really believe they were one injured ankle away from winning it all.
and one mysteriously loose floorboard
And one more excuse as to why you lost to the best team.
@@russelledmonds9381 nope it was lucky for Kanzass otherwise they would have lost.

That boxout for the rebound at @12:41. Textbook technique. Really secured that possession.
true. the little things like that make a difference in big moments like this
@@chaseallen6187 yup good play on their part
Yea, but he should've thrown that 2nd free thrown off the front of the rim & hope for a team rebound. Exchange one point FT for a 2 point basket.
@@swiftstroker no you gotta take the point all day. Woulda been down by 1. You foul and at worst you’re down by 3. Instead like what happened he missed and they were down by 4. Game over.
Puff is the real deal. His foul on Keels looked calculated, Keels wasn't shooting yet and Puff perfectly times the swipe to save the and 1. He looks like he LOVES playing for Carolina. Hope he's good enough to start next season.
Carolina fan here that LOVED the EPIC win! But wanted to take a moment to recognize Coach K for his incredible career with 5 National titles and 3 straight USA Basketball Olympic Gold medals. I don't think anyone will ever top that. Loved to hate Duke all these years, but admit it won't be the same without Coach K. Thanks for all the memories Coach.
Without all the help from the NCAA home office, hes just a mediocre deadbeat. Almost any coach can have a fantastic career when the governing body is in their back pocket.
Girl imma still hate Duke the exact same 🤣🤣🤣 idc who the coach is! But yeah happy retirement coach k!
How to spot a UNC fan that didn't go to UNC. No respect for Rat man K
To be honest, the gold medals were a given without coach K.
Any decent Coach could coach team USA to three gold medals.
Lifelong Tarheel fan. Great game. Not a single Duke fan can ever talk any amount of trash to me again 🤣 eternal bragging rights. Unless they beat UNC in a title game
Absolutely! This game was sooo big…man was I nervous!! LETS FINISH THIS!!
@@cmoney9830 I hope Kansas goes down. Honestly though, if Kansas does beat the Heels, I could take it 80 to 90% better than any other year. This was the W I wanted the most.
< eternal bragging rights. > haaa. classic!!! Especially considering they've played each other "258" times and this was the first time EVER in the NCAA tournie... and TAR HEELS WIN!!! So yeah that's some serious eternal bragging rights since it probably won't happen again any time soon. And Coach K's final game with a final loss by the TAR HEELS. LOVE IT ALL one more win to go.
Hells yeah, we got hot and are playing our best ball at the perfect time, this Tarheels squad isn’t perfect but they are gritty and willing to fight tooth and nail
SINCE PHIL FORD
Though I know the outcome, it's still tense to watch a yr later. The rollercoaster of emotions watching this game is something I'll cherish forever. Losing to Kansas, though, hurts now a little more than it did last yr. Can't wait till we're back on top 💪🏽🐏
Not a storybook ending, but congrats to Coach K for his illustrious career. But heck of a game between the best rivalry in all of basketball.
Them Duke players had nothin 2 b ashamed of. Salute 2 Coach K from a lifelong Tar Heels fan that despises Duke
I will never forget this game. Go Heels!
I bet you'll forget the very next game which is the one game that actually mattered. Yall blew that 16 point lead to Kansas 🤣🤣🤣 #RockChalk

If they don’t win the whole thing. I’m still proud of these guys.

So proud of my school!!!! Go Heels!!!! (Happy retirement & much respect to Coach K… you will be missed)
Ah. Lived in Chapel Hill for decades and now am 3,500 miles away. And 65 years later there’s still nothing as good as beating Dook.
Indeed. UNC grad c/o '95. Living 8,700 miles away and this STILL does my soul well anytime the Heels step on Dook.
Always a satisfying sensation! I'm 500 miles away from Chapel Hill, wishing I could have munched barbecue and hushpuppies during the game. Dang, but I miss the food!
@@haplessasshole9615 Oh dear GOD yes! I'm in the Philippines these days and while the food here is... unusual at times, there are some good morsels on occasion. HOWEVER...

Not nothing in the world! I feel like the panthers just won the super bowl that’s how good it feel!
@@haplessasshole9615 not in chapel hill, but Charlotte and we set it off in the streets here for y’all last night!
Never gets old...I just watched it and still was pumping my fist and yelling when Caleb's 3pt shot went in
Thank you Tar Heels.I didn't see the game live,had to listen on the radio.I didn't care about the spoilers while watching this video.Coach Davis believed in his team by putting a picture of the Superdome in their lockers and, telling them, that is where we are going.
August the 9th 2022 and still watching.........Luv this. GO HEELS !!!!! TAR
Caleb "The Love Machine" Love glided to the basket two times last night like Clyde Drexler for layups!
I like when he attacks the basket
LOVE TOP OF THE KEY…OHHHH! (24.8)….legendary…. to be able to take and hit that shot at that point in the game
Congratulations to my North Carolina Tarheels 👏 ❤️. Heading to the National Championship 👏!!!
So proud of my unc! Even though they lost to Kansas they tried, and won to me 🏅
Can't win them all.. but you can't win any if u don't get to the championship..
Ok i know that i was just happy
Even tho i know the heels are going to win just watching this highlight still keeps me on my feet ... This was an amazing game
2 things that really hurt Duke: the foul on RJ Davis by Roach WAS NOT a foul. And Mark Williams missing both free throws. Was a great game. Banchero is a beast!
Agreed
Pretty much the key moments
What a battle of a game, Tarheels you kept grinding and fighting and held together as a team for this incredible W, one more and history is complete

As well as Caleb Love played in the 2nd half, he had some VERY Westbrook like turnovers that Duke capitalized on. He has to clean that up before the Kansas game.
I wholeheartedly agree as someone who has has a vested interest in seeing him succeed since he’s reppin our high school alma mater.
I can watch that all day
exceeding expectation, what a game~!
Best college game between these two teams ever !
All these 5 star athletes that cant shoot free throws 😂😂😂
Copy that. Kobe Bryant and lakers only won first title cause Kings shot 16 -30 at the line in Game 7 of west conference final. Chris Webber went 2 -10. American kids only care about 3s and slams. Look at how many european KIDS. Are doing well in Nba. Fundamentals.
Happens! Especially under extreme pressure smh
@@thetravelgoods2760 only watch the last 3:30 the center missed 2. Think they missed 1 other. Still 12 for 17 is just over 70%. These guys are thinking they are going to play in the NBA next year. They are 19 20 with bodies that are 30 to 40 pounds smaller. Take in the preseason and regular season. 100 games. Compared to 40. One and done guys ? How many pan out? 25 30%. PAT Connington had a 10 million dollar contract to pitch in Mlb. 6 signing bonus. He stayed at Notre Dame to play with Grant. They lost to Kentucky in Elite 8. When they had towns and another 6 11 guy. Connington a 6 4 white guy outrebounded both those guys. Even with their 6 8 center only play 20 minutes cause lame calls. Irish still should have won. Kentucky got theirs when Wisconson beat them in semis to ruin undeafeted season. Notre dame missed 2 front end 1 an 1. Missed 2 of four after in last 5 minutes. Left 6 point off board. List by 1.
depth perception is a real thing
Congradulations to both sides what a great game!!!
Glad this game matched (or exceeded) the hype. Usually these hyped games devolve into something less than spectacular.
Georgia Tech head basketball coach said that UNC would win it all in January. He said it was one of the best teams in the country. Man was he ever right. Even when everyone as of Friday picked Duke he held to his guns and said UNC would beat Duke an win the national championship. Josh knew something nobody else knew. Go Heels!
They hadn't won it all yet. He hasn't been proved right yet.
Its over bro. Sometimes it just your year. These kids have no pressure on them they got Kansas picked to win. That why they play the game. The Heels will be the last team standing. Go Heels!
I remember how he got absolutely torched for saying that, even by our fans…which wasn’t completely unwarranted at the time. But man, was he ever right? Crazy.
I'm just glad the HISTORY went to my shade of BLUE, go HEELS.
Freshman year at UNC, first college basketball game I watched. Now I’m an all-time fan, love seeing my boys in class or walking around the pit lol
These 16 1/2 minutes serve as a tutorial on the importance of free-throw shooting.
1st year and Hubert got us in there
Best rivalry in sports! Last nights game took this rivalry to the top!
I thank the uploader for this clip. I was listening to this game via radio. As soon as 11pm hit, the radio station stopped broadcasting the game. I missed listening to the last 45 seconds of the game. It was a great game!
Caleb Love that shot will never ever get old!!!!!! History shot for the world!!!
@12:36 when watching it live I knew he would miss the FT, he wasn’t focused and was smiling.
Lol that bum waving at Bacot when he fouled out. He did so much talking for a guy who averaged under 4ppg
I have a strange feeling that Carolina vs Duke will be in The Final Four again next year . Next will be for the National Title though ! Can't wait folks !
Caleb is definitely going to the NBA, he’s special
Yep, he'll fit right in cause he shoots 3s and he's very SELFISH! He reminds me of Rashad McCants...
The Blue Devils have no one to blame but themselves for missing those free throws down the stretch.
On our way to the Championship game, great ride coach K....we'll keep the rivalry going with Dukes new coach next year. #tarheelnation
