Former Duke basketball standout Paolo Banchero, the No. 1 pick in last year's NBA draft, said that the Blue Devils' win over North Carolina 'gives me closure.'
Banchero was one of 19 former players in attendance during Saturday's game and joined the Cameron Crazies in the first half. He wore a shirt plastered with Jeremy Roach's face and was one of the first to congratulate Roach, who scored the final four points in the win, in the Duke locker room.
"Watching the game is way more stressful than playing in the game," Banchero said."But it was huge. I wanted to see Jeremy, after what happened last year, close them out."
