After Duke was upset in their first game of the ACC Tournament, a North Carolina fan couldn't pass up the opportunity for a perfect troll job.
The North Carolina Tar Heels now lead the season series over Duke, 3-0. This one won't pop up on the scoreboard, but a UNC fan deserves a ton of credit for a perfectly executed troll job. Duke entered the ACC Tournament as the No. 2 seed, behind only the Tar Heels, whom they lost to in both of their meetings during the regular season.
The Blue Devils earned a bye right into the quarterfinals, where they met No. 10 N.C. State after they won in the first two rounds. Duke was an 11.5-point favorite, but the Wolfpack have tapped into their 1983 selves all along, and Jim Valvano would certainly be proud. N.C. State won the game, 74-69, to, forgive us, survive and advance to the semifinals . The Wolfpack faced the Tar Heels in the final, with UNC defeating No. 9 Florida State and No. 4 Pitt.
It now remains to be seen where UNC and N.C. State will be ranked, but this upset surely shakes things up for March Madness. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
