Sports Illustrated ranked the top rivalries in college basketball this week and not surprisingly, Duke-UNC is at the top.
It’s a powerful rivalry, even despite the fact that UNC cheated for 20 years and therefore had an unfair advantage.
Right behind it is Kentucky-Louisville, followed by some truly great rivalries.
We didn’t see one even though we went all the way down to honorable mention where we saw Duke-Maryland listed even though the teams no longer play and won’t anytime soon with the exception of possible tournament play - and even there Maryland has to actually make the post-season and presumably advance.
