Hubert Davis after UNC beat Duke: ‘It’s a beautiful day for Carolina basketball’

Hubert Davis spoke glowingly about the North Carolina Tar Heels basketball program after ending the career of Coach K and Duke Basketball in the Final Four. 

There will be no fairytale ending for Coach K and the Duke Blue Devils. North Carolina and Hubert Davis made sure of it with an 81-77 victory. The win propelled the Tar Heels into Monday Night’s National Championship game against Bill Self and the Kansas Jayhawks.

After the game, Davis was clearly emotional when speaking with Tracy Wolfson, citing how the win was just a beautiful day for Carolina basketball.

If only Coach Davis knew just how the fans back in Chapel Hill felt about the game, he would have smiled an even bigger grin.

The moment is priceless for the Tar Heel faithful, who will forever have this moment against their arch-rival and can add to this glory by delivering one more shining moment on Monday.

Despite being down at the half, the Tar Heels never lost their resolve and continued to fight back. Furthermore, they have now beaten Duke twice this season and spoiled ceremonial games, including Coach K’s final game at Cameron Indoor Stadium. This victory is now the official knockout blow. The same team that handed Coach K his first loss hands him his final loss in his final game.

On the flip side, the Tar Heels cannot afford to celebrate for too long. They will be underdogs heading into Monday Night against a Kansas team that may be the best team that Bill Self has had in a long time. Furthermore, the Jayhawks are an imposing team, evidenced by their demolishing of Villanova in the first game.

Hubert Davis knows that April 2, 2022, will always be a great day for North Carolina basketball and the Tar Heel family. They defeated Duke and ended a coach’s legendary career. But, there is still one final task to follow through to write their own happily ever after as the Jayhawks await.
