Duke-North Carolina Tonight! Get Pumped!

Arguably the biggest rivalry in college basketball, the Duke-North Carolina matchup will get another chapter added to it tonight when the Blue Devils visit the Tar Heels.  Some of the past matchups have failed to live up to the enormous hype that the games between these two teams usually garner, but some recent games have been remarkable. One that comes to mind right off the bat is the Henderson foul and the bloody Hansbrough nose.  Will tonight’s game exceed expectations?

Sports commentator and radio personality Dan Patrick talked with Duke Coach K to discuss the game, from Sports Illustrated’s cliff notes, he wasn’t playing into the hype.  Said Coach K, “I don’t like that to be a bigger game than the Miami game (last Sunday) or the Boston College game coming up against Sunday.” Well, that might be what he says, but it’s hard to believe that his classic rivalry game doesn’t intensify things slightly for the players, the fans and the coaches.
