UNC vs Duke — Round 1, 2014

Posted on February 10, 2014 | Comments Off

Here we sit less than 48 hours away from tip-off of potentially one of the most exciting men’s college basketball games of the season: UNC vs Duke — Round 1 in Chapel Hill.

Duke is the higher ranked team and the team most of the talking heads expect to come out victorious Wednesday night. But when these two rivals meet, you never know what the outcome will be until it happens.

Tonight, #17 ranked UNC women’s basketball marched a team of mostly freshmen and sophomores into Hansbrough Indoor Stadium, a.k.a. Cameron Indoor Stadium, and handily knocked off the #3 ranked women Blue Devils 89-78. Let’s hope the ladies inspired our Tar Heel men to follow suit and complete the sweep of Round 1, UNC vs Duke.

“UNC Beats Clemson in Chapel Hill”

You’ve heard or read that headline quite a few times unless you’re awfully young or you simply don’t follow Tar Heel basketball. At some point, Clemson is bound to win again in Chapel Hill. They have to, don’t they? Obviously, odds are in their favor.

Year after year, decade after decade, Tar Heels tell each other that Clemson is eventually going to a game in Chapel Hill. But it didn’t happen in 2014.

Clemson has won exactly ZERO times in the last 57 meetings against the Tar Heels on the hard court in Chapel Hill. #KeepTheRecordAlive, Tar Heels.
