I know… I should be studying right now but I decided to make a quick preview of North Carolina and Duke number two.
The Tar Heels and the Blue Devils will meet for the second time this season on Saturday night,live from Cameron Indoor Stadium in Durham,North Carolina.North Carolina ha won seven out of their last eight games after a three point loss to Miami on Tuesday night.That snapped the Tar Heels’ seven game winning streak,but the Tar Heels still sit pretty at number nine in the country and a 22-8 overall record and 11-6 in the ACC.Duke has also just lost a game,a loss in stunning fashion to Virginia Tech on Monday night.They did get their superstar back, Freshman big man Marvin Bagley the third,but he still wasn’t enough to lead the Blue Devils past the Hokies.Duke Guard Grayson Allen had starred in Bagley’s absence but went back to subpar play in the loss.If the Tar Heels beat Duke,meaning a sweep of the season series,then they will get the two seed in the ACC Tournament next week but if Duke wins,they get the nod to play as the number two seed.Remember the Tar Heels beat the Blue Devils,82-78, in Chapel Hill back in early February.So the stage is set for the best rivalry in college basketball,9.UNC at. 5.Duke.
