Final Four: North Carolina downs Duke, ends Coach K's career to reach national championship

 

North Carolina played the ultimate villain again, stunning archrival and No. 2 seed Duke, 81-77, in the Final Four on Saturday at Caesars Superdome before a crowd of 70,602.

Caleb Love's dagger three-pointer with 28 seconds left, followed by a free throw, gave the No. 8 seeded Tar Heels a four-point lead and helped them pull off the upset. Trevor Keels' free throw with 10.4 seconds left made it 79-77 before Love (28 points) drained a pair of free throws to solidify the victory. 

UNC (29-9) advanced to Monday's national championship (9:20 p.m. ET, TBS) to meet Kansas and ended Mike Krzyzewski's storied career and a chance at winning a sixth title. They had previously spoiled Coach K's final home game at Cameron Indoor Stadium on March 5.
