The Blue Devils will face off against one of their top rivals this weekend. Duke-UNC is regarded as one of the best rivalries in all of sports. The Blue Devils have had great matchups against Wake Forest in the past too. However, Duke and NC State was also once a great rivalry that has been recently overlooked. Can new Wolfpack head coach return the rivalry to it’s former glory?
The state of North Carolina has four teams competing in the ACC. With conference expansion, scheduling for the old “Big Four” rivalries has been difficult. This problem also exists in football, where left out matchup is Duke-NC State.
