play

11:38 PM ET

One of the most anticipated games of the NCAA tournament was Duke and North Carolina's first meeting in the Final Four.

The first Final Four meeting between the Tobacco Road rivals lived up to the hype in UNC coach Hubert Davis' first Final Four as a coach.

After two back-and-forth halves, the Tar Heels ended any chance of a fairy-tale ending for Krzyzewski with a 81-77 win. UNC spoiled Coach K's home finale.

After scoring just six points in the first half, UNC's Caleb Love picked up the pace in the second and led the game in scoring with 28 points.

Bacot had 21 boards for the Tar Heels. He was the first player with a 20-rebound game in the Final Four since Nick Collison of Kansas in the 2003 title game.

The Jayhawks will play the UNC for the national championship.

Both sides of the Duke-UNC rivalry weighed in on social media after the final buzzer.

Major luv n respect for Coach K. Phenomenal career, truly one of a kind.
