The North Carolina Tar Heels and Duke Blue Devils are just one day away from their second meeting of the season; the latest chapter in the storied rivalry commonly considered the best in American sports.
The implications of Saturday night’s game include first-place in the Atlantic Coast Conference, seeding in the ACC Tournament next week, and a potential No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. Other anecdotes include whether or not Zion Williamson will play — though that is, of course, the headline for ESPN — senior night for North Carolina’s Luke Maye, Kenny Williams and Cam Johnson, as well as the possibility that freshmen Coby White and Nassir Little could be playing in their final game at the Smith Center.
