At 3:04 mark if first half. Up 9 and going to line. Banchero appears to tell Carolina bench ‘you ain’t s**t’ twice. Heels outscored Duke by 22 after those remarks.

Beating Baylor by 25 in a cruise would have saved years of life for the fanbase no doubt. But Winning that game and how it all went down will reverberate within the program and inside these players and coaches for a long long time.
