08:19 AM ET 02.09 | Harrison Barnes had given North Carolina an 82-72 lead with 2:38 to play Wednesday night against Duke, which then staged a furious rally capped by Austin Rivers' 3-pointer for an 85-84 Blue Devils win. [Maybe 20 minutes later], Rivers walked back out onto the same Smith Center court for a post-game interview with television. After finishing the interview, Rivers slapped hands with a couple of Duke fans and thanked them for coming out. As he walked back to the Blue Devils' locker room, Rivers punched the shoulder of one Duke's media relations officials and leaned in close. "This is the best feeling I've ever had on the basketball court," Rivers said, quickly and quietly. "This is the best feeling I've ever had."

Crazy game......not sure I've ever seen a road team so blatently "steal" a win at the end. UNC felt like they had total control of that thing.....How the hell they lost, is still beyond me.

Great win, Dook........

In my experience, these things tend to balance out over the course of a season. Duke may have had one coming from a previous situation...or will give one up later in the year somewhere. JMO
