When you think of college basketball rivalries, there are none better than the Tar Heels v Duke. Two schools eight miles apart in North Carolina, one public, one private, five Final Four Championships to four, the last two Final Four champions, two Hall of Fame coaches, doesn't get better than this.
They renew their rivalry tomorrow in "Hansbrough" Indoor Stadium in a nationally televised game. The Blue Devils punked the Tar Heels twice last year on their way to the national championship. The Tar Heels took them out twice the year before.
The Heels started off slowly but have been growing as a team lately and are 7-1 in the ACC, second to Duke's 8-1. Winner tomorrow has the inside track to the 1 seed in the ACC tournament in March (and a far better schedule in the tournament when it comes to rest etc). Heels are the underdog for sure but they have won four of the last five at "Hansbrough" Indoor Stadium and a win by them would not surprise me.
Go Heels.
