Inside Seth Trimble's game-winning drive against Duke

Seth Trimble hit a last-second 3-pointer to give North Carolina a 71-68 victory over Duke, securing the Tar Heels' first win against the Blue Devils in 700 days.

CHAPEL HILL - "Philly 25."

That was the move.

North Carolina tied Duke at 68 with 10 seconds left.The Heels never had a chance to steal a game they never led.

Seth Trimble's layup with 0.4 seconds left gave North Carolina a 71-68 win over Duke on Saturday at the Smith Center, giving the Tar Heels their first win over the Blue Devils in 700 days.

UNC coach Hubert Davis tied the play - even though he didn't have to.They leave it running all the time.It's the Philly 25, a bunch of centuries with Caleb Wilson and Henry Vizar at the helm.Vizar shows up.Wilson screens and reels.UNC even played it once in the first half.

"That play, that pass and that shot is literally what we do every day," Davis said.

The drive broke and Jerin Stevenson handed the ball off to freshman quarterback Derek Dixon.He took four dribbles to set up his teammates.Wilson set a screen and Dixon ran past Duke's Cameron Boozer, who took the pick.

The Blue Devils crashed into the paint.The fifth ran to the edge to help.

Trimble stood in autodos, stretched arms, waited for that there would be given the youngest weak that she needed.

Duke's Caleb Foster and Maliq Brown jumped toward Dixon with both hands raised in the air.Dixon shifted the ball from his left hand to his right and sent a rocket into the corner in the air.

"When the quarterback comes in, he jumps to the opposite corner. Derek's pass was unbelievable," Davis said."He checked all the options and the one option that was open, his defender came to his aid (so) he jumped in the corner."

Trimble caught him at eye level.she broke the bale and dried up in the impact.he knew otherwise.When he knew the ball, the entire coast of Unca rose to its feet.

The ball floated in the air.Trimble continued to follow.No rim needed.

"I knew it was good, and to see it and hear the crowd erupt was surreal," Trimble said.

"You dreamed like this when you were a kid. You dreamed like this as an adult before you went to bed. I never thought it would happen in a game. It was just crazy."

His teammates, no doubt, including freshman Caleb Wilson.

"I trust (it). It's open and you walk in. It's all together. It's like a dream," he said.

Within moments, the Tarheel fans stormed the floor.Trumbull put his hands to his ears and said goodnight.

"It was a blur. I regained consciousness," Trimble said."It happened so fast. I was so fast. My friends were around me, we were celebrating, so I just had a big smile on my face."

Trimble wowed the crowd of 21,750 at the Smith Center and – no matter who you are – the shot was incredible.Not because it went in, but who made it and what it means to North Carolina.

Trimble is a rare thing.He spent all four of his college seasons with the Tar Heels.He was thinking of leaving earlier.But he knew where home was.

"It's perfect," Davis said.

Trimble didn't realize immediately after the game that his shot would be remembered forever.He said it probably seeped into him when he slept at night.

"I'll remember this for the rest of my life," Trimble said."No matter how this year ends, as I get older, this will be something I remember.
