Exclusive:Photobombing UNC Fan Savaged Duke in Savage Style at ACC Competition Lasting

Leave it to North Carolina fans to troll Duke during the ACC tournament final when the rival teams aren’t even playing each other. During the tournament championship game Saturday night between UNC and North Carolina State in Washington, ESPN’s Jay Bilas and Dan Shulman were addressing viewers at halftime with the score tied at 29, and a Tar Heels fan could be seen in the background. Seeing an opportunity for camera time, the fan displayed a phone with a message reading, “WHERE’S DOOK?

Adding insult to rivalry, the fan was wearing a T-shirt with a picture of Duke’s Kyle Filipowski tripping UNC’s Harrison Ingram on March 9

The Blue Devils lost to the Wolfpack in the semifinals of the tournament, and the Tar Heels eventually met the same fate. NC State went on to upset yet another blue blood, defeating UNC 84–76 to win the tournament, but at least the photobombing fan enjoyed a moment of fame.

Inside Carolina contributor and former Tar Heel guard Dewey Burke joined host Tommy Ashley on The Postgame show to offer his thoughts on North Carolina’s 84-76 loss to NC State in the ACC Tournament championship game. Here are his five key takeaways from the game

From the tip, it was a miserable defensive performance. I was very frustrated early and hoped that they would turn it around. I never thought we did on defense. We were never engaged defensively. DJ Horne got every shot and every look he wanted. DJ Burns is going to back anybody down. I don’t care how big you are. We didn’t seem to have a plan on doubling him or not. We were disjointed on that end of the floor. We never never found any kind of rhythm. We gave them life early, and they had it the whole game. There were a couple of chances we could have pushed the ball harder and tried to get to their legs

You have to give them credit. I hate giving them credit for anything, but five games in five nights is impressive. They played with desperation; we played like it was a game in November. You’d rather win the regular season, but you’re still there, so you might as well win it. It’s a shame. It’s hard to win the league and the conference tournament. You’ve got to tip your hat to State, as hard as that is to say
