The North Carolina Tar Heels didn’t let Tuesday’s loss to Georgia Tech get into their heads too much. On Saturday, the Tar Heels hosted rival Duke in the first of two regular season matchups, and after a bit of a back-and-forth start, Harrison Ingram and North Carolina put their stamp on it.
Ingram finished with 21 points including making 5-of-9 from the three-point line, with Armando Bacot adding 25 points and 10 rebounds in a big 93-84 win.
North Carolina bullied Duke in the paint, dictating the game by getting on their fast breaks and not turning the ball over in the win. Despite RJ Davis only scoring 17, most of that coming in the second half, UNC played a hell of a game to get a big win.
As the celebration has begun in Chapel Hill, let’s look at some of the best photos from Saturday’s win:
