Watch: Duke's Jayson Tatum rises for monster dunk vs. UNC NCAA.com

CHAMPS

PRESENTED BY So, that was fun. The first matchup of the year between the Duke Blue Devils and North Carolina Tar Heels was a doozy. Duke would end up emerging with the victory, 86-78, despite being locked in a tight game for most of the second half. Nonetheless, this meeting has given Duke and UNC faithful plenty to salivate over. Case in point, this monster, one-handed slam courtesy of Duke freshman forward Jayson Tatum. Welcome to THE Rivalry, Mr. Tatum!

(via ) — NCAA March Madness (@marchmadness) The first-year player put up 19 points, nine rebounds and five assists to help keep his team in the ballgame. All that after a scoreless first half, mind you. Well, Tatum may be new to the Tobacco Road Rivalry but he seems to get the gist of things so far. There will be a rematch on March 4, but Duke owns bragging rights in the state of North Carolina for now.
