Later tonight, UNC and Duke will face off for the 260th time in the best rivalry in sports. It is also Senior Night, and the school said that Armando Bacot, Leaky Black, Justin McKoy, Pete Nance, Jackson Watkins and five managers will be honored before the game. It is also worth noting that this will be Black’s 153th career game, which will break the school record held by Deion Thompson.
Focusing on Duke, they will be entering the Dean Dome off of a four-point victory against NC State. The interesting narrative out there right now is that the Blue Devils have started showing dramatic improvement, but to me it’s hard to look at shooting 41.
