A lot of young fans hate Duke, but UNC was the Yankee like force of East Coast basketball for decades. Duke is always a scrappy team.
Duke plays Carolina tough regardless of the talent on the court. Carolina has no heart.
Its something I really don't get. You look at Duke's roster and then look at UNC's when this season starts and say one of these teams is going to win by 32....... who do you think is going to win by 32? A coach K team would never lose like UNC has this year (he wasn't coaching that 95 team that was down), to be honest I never thought a Roy Williams UNC team would lose like this. Never got the hatred for Duke.

It's because a) they have more consistent success than basically any program, with the possible exception of Kansas and b) many of their teams have a star player who is white. For some reason, white people are allowed to be good in football, baseball, hockey, and any other sport. However, if they are good at basketball, they will face an unbelievable amount of backlash from upper-middle class, white college students.

I get why everyone hates North Caronlina in here. 95% of it stems from the hatred for Roy Williams. The other 5% probably just don't like front runners and hate Carolina because they are always at the top winning national championships. I really don't care that Caronlina lost by 30+ the other night. I knew they were shite when the season started. I wasn't expecting much. They played duke within 10 points at chapel hill, and just got hammered by a hot team the other night. Duke was the better team, but they can take the moral victory right up the arse when they get beat in the second round or sweet 16. They can lube it with North Carolina's 2 championship rings they've won in the last 5 years. Carolina was left with a bunch of role players and no major scorer's from last year. There was no consistant guard play, post play or any kind of play. I have been saying that all year. They will be better next year, and they have got some studs coming in that I am sure will pan out unlike Hensen. So enjoy it for now, and I can't wait till next year. Duke is going to be shite without Singler and Scheyer.
