Duke defeated North Carolina 82-69 on Saturday night in Chapel Hill.
The victory means Duke finishes the ACC regular season with a record of 19-1. The Blue Devils could have fallen to as far as the No. 3 seed in the ACC Tournament with a loss on Saturday, but instead they took care of business with another victory over their arch rivals.
Duke has now won 3 of the last 4 meetings between these 2 arch rivals in Chapel Hill. The Blue Devils lost at the Dean E. Smith Center last season but beat the Tar Heels on the road in both 2023 and 2022.

— Duke Men’s Basketball (@DukeMBB) March 9, 2025This is a devastating loss for North Carolina’s NCAA Tournament chances. The Tar Heels had won 6 straight games prior this defeat, but will now enter the postseason with just 1 Quad 1 win on their résumé. Without a deep run in the ACC Tournament next weekend, Carolina will be a big underdog to hear its name called on Selection Sunday.
Duke, meanwhile, is solidly expected to earn a No. 1 seed on Selection Sunday. Auburn is the favorite to be the No. 1 overall seed, although its home loss to Alabama on Saturday could change that. It’s worth noting Duke does have a head-to-head win over the Tigers from earlier this season.
This is Duke’s 2nd outright ACC regular season title in the last 4 seasons.
