Leave it to a rivalry matchup to make a double-digit comeback out of the game.

Duke rallied early from an early 11-0 deficit to claim a 47-38 victory over arch rival North Carolina, clinching a spot in the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2013.

Duke will face Maryland or South Carolina in the Elite Eight on Sunday at noon in Birmingham.

After going 0-for-5 to start the game, the Blue Devils went on an 11-for-17 stretch that included a stretch of five straight field goals to take a 19-13 lead.

Duke didn’t trail again after that stretch.

Late rebounds were key for Duke as the Blue Devils had three straight offensive rebounds in the last 1:18 of the contest; Duke outrebounded UNC 43-40 and grabbed 15 offensive rebounds to the Tar Heels’ 12.

Sophomore guard Oluchi Okananwa had a double-double for Duke with 12 points and 12 rebounds, leading the Blue Devils in both categories; she shot 5-for-11 from the field.

Ashlon Jackson also scored in double figures with 10 points and dished out a team-high 3 assists, while Jadyn Donovan had 4 of Duke’s 6 blocks.

Duke star freshman Toby Fournier had 7 rebounds off the bench after missing Duke’s second-round win against Oregon.

In what would be her final game as a Tar Heel, star Alyssa Ustby had 9 points and 10 rebounds to lead UNC in both categories; she finished with 1,269 career rebounds, which is a program record.

Indya Nivar had 8 points and 7 rebounds for UNC, while Hoover alum Reniya Kelly scored 6 points and grabbed 3 rebounds.
