Williamson had 31 points and 11 rebounds and the Blue Devils (28-5) survived a fight with their fierce rival in a classic that went down to the final play. After Canadian R.J. Barrett missed two free throws with 12.4 seconds left, UNC pushed downcourt for Coby White to get a contested long jumper. This tournament has largely been about Williamson’s return from the injury that had sidelined him for nearly six full games, and what it means for the Blue Devils going forward. It was another sign that Duke, with Williamson back, is closer to being the version that spent a national-best seven weeks at No. The Blue Devils advanced to the championship game against 12th-ranked Florida State.
