If you weren’t able to be at the game last night between UNC and Duke, the next best place was to be on Chapel Hill in North Carolina.

The Tar Heels were able to defeat the Blue Devils 81 -77 and sent Coach K in to retirement.

Coach K no doubt had one of the most historic careers as a coach, but it was Chapel Hill’s time to party following the massive win.

While UNC fans may think they have already won the big game beating bitter rivals Duke, the NCAA men’s championship will tip off Monday, April 4th, at 9:20 p.m. as the Tar Heels face the Kansas Jayhawks.
