No. 10 Duke 85, No. 5 North Carolina 84

Posted Feb 8, 2012
Freshman Austin Rivers buried a 3-pointer at the horn to give No. 10 Duke an 85-84 win over No. 5 North Carolina on Wednesday. Rivers scored a season-high 29 points and hit six 3s, though the last will certainly live on in the lore on the fierce rivalry. With the Blue Devils trailing by two, Rivers launched a 3 over 7-footer Tyler Zeller from the right wing. The ball swished through the net in front of a stunned UNC crowd. (ESPN.com)
