The North Carolina Tar Heels currently lead the season series against Duke, 3-0.
This doesn’t show up on the scoreboard, but as a UNC fan you deserve a lot of credit for a perfectly executed troll job.
Duke entered the ACC Tournament as the No. 2 seed behind the Tar Heels, whom they lost to twice during the regular season.

The Blue Devils advanced to the quarterfinals with a bye and faced No. 10 North Carolina State after winning the first two rounds.

North Carolina State won the game 74-69 and unfortunately survived and advanced to the semifinals (they upset No. 3 Virginia after a wild buzzer-beater forced overtime ).
The Wolfpack faced the Tar Heels in the finals, with UNC defeating No. 9 Florida State and No. 4 Pitt.
However, Tar Heel fans took the opportunity to mess with Duke once again.
