There are good times to have a weekend off and then there are really good times to have a weekend off. Based on how things went for the other two Triangle teams this weekend, the Tar Heels lucked into a good weekend to sit back and watch the other schools play.
NC State kicked the weekend off Friday night by losing a turnover-filled game that fittingly ended with a Brennan Armstrong interception. Duke then got to enjoy the national spotlight with a Gameday in Durham and hung with Notre Dame for a long time, even have a lead late.
