Talking about the rivalry, former Duke alumni Jay Williams talked about how North Carolina ruined Coach K’s senior night. Williams said, “This is the biggest game in college basketball. When you think about it, biggest rivalry in sports, coach K’s last hurrah. Think about the series, Duke wins 50 games, Carolina has won 49, think about that gap, it’s so close. The fact that North Carolina ruined Coach K’s senior night, his last game ever at Cameron Indoor Stadium. North Carolina came in, and they won, they celebrated on the court.“

He added, “There is nobody as a Duke fan that I wanna see more in the final four than North Carolina. To have Coach K in his last season win a national championship and go to North Carolina.”
