This week, UNC guard Joel Berry gave NC State some material to hang up in the locker room for motivation.
“I don’t necessarily treat that as a rivalry,” said Berry of the Wolfpack. “When you talk about a rivalry, you always talk about Duke-North Carolina. That’s the biggest one. I love being a part of the Duke-Carolina rivalry, but NC State, I just don’t consider that being a rivalry — we just don’t like them. But it’s not a rivalry like Duke and North Carolina.” (NBC)
Do I expect Berry, or any recent UNC basketball player to look at NC State in the same way they look at Duke?
