Yes sir I did it again, Britney Spears stands alone no more. Any list involving the Blue Devils has to involve those water fountain-loving folks down the street.
When Duke and UNC square off for Coach K’s final installments of the greatest rivalry in sports, all the fireworks will be out and primed to blow.
These games are always a perfect representation of what makes college basketball worth watching. And seeing as how this will be the first time Hubert Davis mans the helm of the Tar Heels ship, it adds an extra unknown element to the mix this year.
Carolina, like Duke, hit the recruiting trail hard this offseason bringing in an extremely healthy mix of transfers and freshmen. The two teams match up perfectly, and I wouldn’t be surprised if one or both of these tilts come down to the wire.
Of all the games listed here, this last one is the matchup most would sell their firstborns for, but it makes no difference which game you can get yourself to.
Coach K needs our support. Likewise, we as fans need to see the Goat’s last title run before he hits the pasture.
