If you can think of a better way to close out the college basketball regular season than a matchup between North Carolina and Duke, then you’re probably lying.
The storied rivalry added another classic to the vault last month, when the Blue Devils, who trailed for most of the game, put together a late rally and pulled out the improbable 74-73 win, giving them their fourth-straight victory in the series.
If the Heels are going to put an end to that streak–no team has won five in a row against the other since Carolina in the early 2000’s–they’ll have to do it inside Cameron Indoor. If that wasn’t enough pressure, a loss could mean the outright regular season ACC title goes to Miami, should the Hurricanes knock off Virginia Tech.
Put it all together, and you have the makings for yet another instant classic.
