Quick Hitters Rewind - UNC vs. Duke (March 3, 1984)

Posted May 17, 2020
Before this game, Mike Krzyzewski was 1-6 against UNC and Duke hadn’t won in Chapel Hill since 1966. With the win, Carolina completed just the sixth perfect ACC conference record. The game was Senior Day for three Tar Heels – Matt Doherty, Cecil Exum, and Sam Perkins, who were 114-19, the winningest four-year stretch in ACC history to that point. (All Tar Heels)
