A look back at the last time an unranked UNC beat a ranked Duke team

Posted Feb 4, 2020
It was Feb. 12, 2014. About three hours prior to the 9 p.m. tip-off between UNC and Duke, it was announced the game was postponed because “Duke’s bus is not able to get to their campus to pick up the team.” What happened eight days later, though, went down in history. The Tar Heels knocked off the Blue Devils, winning 74-66 (Box Score) against No. 5 Duke. (Daily Tar Heel)
