North Carolina seniors Marcus Paige and Brice Johnson had only gotten one win against Duke in their last seven tries before Saturday's thrilling win. Marcus Paige had 11 points while Johnson had a double-double with 18 points and 21 boards.
Both guys were exhausted and just so happy to win the game that you could really see it in the post-game interview with ESPN's Shannon Spake. There are few things better than beating Duke, but doing it on Senior Night makes it ever so much better.
