Caleb Love shoots over Mark Williams

Saturday night's Final Four contest between Duke and North Carolina didn't just live up to the hype — it exceeded it.

The Tar Heels emerged victorious in an exciting battle that featured 18 lead changes, capturing an 81-77 win to advance to the national championship game. Caleb Love led the way for UNC, scoring 28 points on 11-of-20 shooting, including multiple clutch buckets down the stretch.

The Blue Devils' loss brought an end to coach Mike Krzyzewski's illustrious career. In the Coach K era, Duke compiled a 50-50 overall record against North Carolina.

"They played an outstanding game. I thought both teams played their hearts out," Krzyzewski told TBS Sports' Tracy Wolfson. "It's an emotional win, and it's an emotional loss. And that's the way a game like this should be."

11:05 p.m. —The Tar Heels survive, and they're going to the national championship game. What an incredible showing from both teams.

11 p.m. —CALEB LOVE HAS ICE IN HIS VEINS.

10:55 p.m. —Wow. What a wild game. These teams are BATTLING. There have been three lead changes in the last minute. Duke 74, UNC 73 with 1:18 remaining.

10:50 p.m. —Duke 67, UNC 67 with 3:32 on the clock. We've got drama, folks.

10:45 p.m. —After limping off the floor with what appeared to be a right ankle injury, Armando Bacot is coming back into the game. He didn't put much weight on that foot initially, but he's moving a little bit better now.

10:40 p.m. —Foul trouble update...

  • Duke: Theo John (four), Mark Williams (four)
  • UNC: RJ Davis (four), Armando Bacot (three), Leaky Black (three), Brady Manek (three)

10:30 p.m. —A nice defensive play by Paolo Banchero, but he attempts to save the ball under UNC's basket and... yikes.

9:25 p.m. —And now Theo John has three fouls. Armando Bacot is dominating the boards for UNC. He's got five points and eight rebounds so far in the first half.
