Today at 9pm, the college basketball world will be witnessing the biggest rivalry in all of college basletball: UNC vs Duke. These two teams have played each other since 1920 and UNC leads the series 137-111. Duke is currently #1 in the AP Poll with a record of 23-2 while UNC is #9 with a record of 20-5. Duke's star players include freshman sensations Zion Williamson, RJ Barrett, Cam Reddish and Tre Jones. UNC's star players include verteran Luke Maye and sharpshooter Coby White. The head coach for Duke is Mike Krzyzewski and for UNC is Roy Williams. Both teams are already guaranteed locks in the NCAA tournament, but in this matchup, records don't matter. This game could decide the regular season winner of the ACC as Duke is 11-1 in the conference and UNC is 10-2. This game is one of the most exciting games of the year and should live up to its hype. It will be held at North Carolina, and tickets should be insanely expensive this year. Good luck to Duke and UNC today and may the best basketball team win!
Prediction to win:
Because UNC is playing at home, I think that they will have the slight edge in this game. Both teams are pretty evenly matched, but UNC has the experience in these games that Duke's freshman stars don't. The winner will be decided by who can play better in the final 10 minutes of the game and who can go on a big scoring run late.
Final Score: UNC 68, Duke 63
