Leading Off

  • No. 4 Duke caps the regular-season Saturday night in Chapel Hill with a top-five showdown at No. 3 North Carolina.
  • The teams are meeting as AP top five opponents for the 12th time in the rivalry -- five more than any other matchup in college basketball history.
  • The Blue Devils can clinch a share of their 20th ACC regular-season title with a win over the Tar Heels and a Virginia loss. That would also secure the No. 1-seed in the ACC Tournament.
  • The last 100 games of the Duke-Carolina rivalry are split 50-50, while the last 10 games are even at 5-5.
