North Carolina Tar Heels men’s basketball team beat Duke 79-71 on Sunday and won the Atlantic Coast Conference regular season championship.

Senior Tyler Hansbrough scored 17 points for the Tar Heels; after the game he became very emotional after realizing it was his last home game

“It’s a hard game to play,” Hansbrough said. “You’re thinking about everything. You’re thinking about your after-game speech. You’re thinking, ‘Oh man, this is my last game in the Dean Dome,’ and you start to think your college career is coming to an end. Then you’re still trying to focus on the game and get the win.”

The Tar Heels have now won the ACC outright for the 3rd time in five seasons.
