CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (WTVD) – UNC-Chapel Hill was able to stand up to Duke for the second time this season, beating the Blue Devils 79-70 on Saturday night.

Saturday's match closed the regular season for both teams.

The summary

Only one team had Coby White on Saturday night and that made all the difference. In the second half, while the game was in the balance, White exploded into the stratosphere, tearing Duke's helpless defense to shreds and giving Heel a 15-point margin that they would never have given up (although They have certainly tried).

The leading point scorer, Roy Williams, said that he had already been coaching and that he was thinking about the enormity of this statement, he highlighted all his skills. A move in the first half featured a spin, then a left hand to the right behind the back dribble even before it ended up in the key. A double-hooked finish has the capped.

It was his second-half performance, but everyone was talking. Both R.J. Barrett and Cam Reddish admitted that there was not much to do when a qualified player enters an area. White took a step back to three, drove for and 1 and prepared his teammates for dunks. This almost destroyed the roof of the Smith Center.

Mike Krzyzewski said that it is the freedom granted to White by Roy Williams that makes all the difference. And not only Roy, but by his teammates of the upper class. Luke Maye, Cam Johnson and Kenny Williams are happy to let him sizzle.

White will probably not be retained in the Top 10 as Barrett or Reddish or Zion Williamson, but that night he was the star that shone the most. As a result, heels have a share of the CCA's regular season title and very realistic dreams of upcoming major leagues.
