In what may be the greatest game in the history of this rivalry -- the 202 total points remain the most ever scored in a Duke-UNC game -- the Tar Heels outlasted an undermanned Blue Devil team. Jerry Stackhouse's dunk over two Blue Devils and the ensuing free throw capped a 26-9 Carolina run to open the game. Duke used 3-point shooting to get within five points at halftime and eventually lead by 12 midway through the second half. The Tar Heels mounted a surge of their own and came back from nine points down with 6:18 to play to force overtime. UNC took a nine-point lead in the first overtime, but four Duke 3-pointers, including Jeff Capel's running 30-footer as time expired, tied the score at 95 and sent the game to a second overtime. Clutch jumpers by Donald Williams and a steal and basket by Jeff McInnis with under a minute to go sealed the 102-100 win for UNC.

The teams would exchange the lead 10 times before a Thomas Hill baseline jumper gave the Blue Devils a 39-38 halftime lead. The Tar Heels opened the second half with a 10-0 spurt, but then saw its offense disappear. Duke went five minutes before scoring a second-half basket but fought back with tough defense, holding UNC without a field goal over the last 9½ minutes of the game. Carolina hit 12 of 14 free throws during that stretch, including two by Derrick Phelps with 44.5 seconds remaining to give the Tar Heels a 75-73 lead.
