CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — Third-ranked North Carolina played with confidence and a physical edge to build a lead against rival Duke, then never flinched in protecting its edge no matter how many times the seventh-ranked Blue Devils made a push.
When it was over, RJ Davis took a moment to savor a quick goodbye wave to them in front of a roaring home crowd.
“Yeah, I did,” he said with a grin, “just for the fun rivalry."
Armando Bacot and Harrison Ingram each posted double-doubles to help No. 3 North Carolina beat No. 7 Duke 93-84 on Saturday night in the latest renewal of the rivalry between neighboring programs with a combined 11 NCAA championships.
