Is this the least hyped up its ever been? Usually ESPN plays commercials all the time at least a week in advance. I almost forgot about it. I know UNC is struggling, but I don't remember it being this bad a few years ago when Duke didn't have their best team.

Duke by 13.

I saw at least 5 during the games last night. It isnt hyped up because this is probably the worse one team has been in the last 20 years.

UNC went 8-20 in 2002, didn't they? That was much worse.

This is a type of game UNC could win...it wouldn't surprise me.

That said, I think they'll lose.

Throw the records out when these 2 play. Duke is also only 2-4 on the road this year.

IDK, I think as bad as UNC has looked this year, they'll treat this like their NC and go all out. If Duke can't make the outside shots I think UNC can keep it close.

I actually see it differently. I think this is the first year K can dominant the inside vs Roy and UNC. I see the Plumlees getting fed all night, thus leading to the outside in the second half.

91-68 Duke.

I think UNC will play hard and keep it close for a half. Duke will hit some big 3s and pull away in the end.

Duke-87
UNC-74

No, they've won 2 of the last 4 at UNC and there was a year where both teams lost at home (I think it may have been 2005-06). Roy is 7-5 against Coach K.

Here's a great photo from DBR

Quote of the century from Roy

quote:

"Our massage therapist told me, 'You know, coach, what happened in Haiti is a catastrophe. What you're having is a disappointment,' " said Williams. "I told her that depends on what chair you're sitting in. It does feel like a catastrophe to me, because it is my life."

This, in the gym it will be as crazy as if both were undefeated. The biggest game in basketball every year.

Roy's gone bat shite crazy this year it seems. Some pretty good quotes all year. Must've been all the pain pills.

I like Duke and they're the better team. But, UNC is retiring Hansbrough's jersey tonight, Duke isn't good on the road, so imo UNC will pull it off tonight.

I am really nervous about tonight. I do think they might have turned a corner since the G'town game. We will have to wait and see.
