To those who can tweet during Carolina games, I applaud you. I’m usually such a nervous wreck, I can barely keep up with the TV screen and box score to do much of anything else. But as soon as the game’s over, I head straight to Twitter, where I know the fire takes and shit-talking have started in earnest.
The stakes were the highest I can ever remember on Saturday night. Duke Twitter fans expected a coronation. And why shouldn’t they? The Blue Devils trounced UNC in Chapel Hill and had superior talent. Plus they were starring in a Broadway classic, open one night only: Coach K’s Curtain Call.
As we know, things did not go to plan, and the delicious salty tears of Duke fans were there for the taking. Carolina Twitter meant to collect. Here are some of the best post-Duke game Tweets from UNC’s 94-81 win.
Mundane corporate Tweets that make us feel good

Respected Twitter voices weighing in
Congrats to the Tar Heels’ incredible victory over Duke last night. With the coronation for Coach K, 96 former floor-slappers in attendance & dozens of crying students, you could tell how much they wanted a dream ending for Coach K. Alas, Hubert Davis turned it into a nightmare. pic.twitter.com/90nQae9Ekr

“Sir, Coach K invited 200 of his former players to his final game at Duke just to lose by 13 points to his biggest rival UNC.” pic.twitter.com/y0nIHPhP3o

Booted from the 1 seed conversation. Losing at home to a scrub UNC team. Losing Coach K’s final home game in front of the legends of the program.

This is up there among the worst outcomes I’ve ever witnessed as a Duke fan.
