Meeting for the first time this season, familiar foes No. 14 UNC and No. 4 Duke are getting ready to reignite a classic blue blood rivalry this weekend.
Though UNC is not leading the ACC pack, the historic program is standing strong with an 18-4 record. The Tar Heels remain undefeated at home, and have won their last four games entering Saturday. Could a home court advantage play in UNC’s favor during this rivalry game?
Meanwhile in Durham, Duke (21-1) has been thriving even without Cooper Flagg. The Blue Devils are on a hunt for redemption this season, especially after falling in the Final Four last march. With only one loss so far, they’re on track to make a deep postseason run.
The Blue Devils prevailed in all three head-to-head matchups last season. Who will claim dominance in this historic rivalry?
