Saturday’s rematch against the Duke Blue Devils in Chapel Hill is big for Atlantic Coast Conference seeding as well as North Carolina’s shot at least sharing the regular season conference title with Virginia.
The Tar Heels took game one in Durham a few weeks back and have been on a roll since then, playing some really good basketball. There’s no doubt that Saturday’s atmosphere will be incredible, as it always is when these two rivals meet.
While the game is an important one for seeding in both the ACC and NCAA Tournament, it’s also important for both the basketball and football programs in terms of recruiting.
