Duke players are facing criticism for how they handled their loss to North Carolina.
On Saturday night, Duke lost a close game to their longtime rivals after Caleb Love hit some insane clutch shots to put the Blue Devils away in what would be Coach K’s final game.

After the game, only one Duke player, Wendell Moore, stayed behind with Coach K to shake hands with UNC players.
I'm pretty sure @thewendellmoore was the only @DukeMBB player to shake hands afterward. That REALLY sticks with me. Speaks well of Moore, poorly of the program. How one handles defeat says SOOOO much more than how one handles victory. https://t.co/0bNoOdMenP
