The official Duke-North Carolina game(s) thread

Glad the northern ACC contigent decided to show up.

Not sure which team to take -- both are pissed off from the weekend's losses.
I'm going with Heels by 4.
The McRoberts-Hansbrough, year No.2 matchup will be interesting.

 

I think it's very hard to predict how the younger UNC players will react to playing at Cameron. I can guarantee that, unlike for the game at N.C. State, Hansbrough and Lawson won't be the only ones playing with passion. If I had to bet, I'd bet UNC wins narrowly but nothing would surprise me.

 

Talent-wise, UNC men should win by 20.

Duke is too young and, yes, overrated.

The women's game? Uh, WHO CARES??????????

 

That game deserves more hope than the men's version of this rivalry, for sure. That doesn't happen every day.

In this simulation of the game done with NCAA March Madness 07</a> North Carolina wins it 86-78 with Ellington scoring 33 points.

 

Great. Now I really don't have to watch the game, because ESPN already simulated it for me.

 

Who cares about Duke-UNC when ya got South Florida-St. John's...[/dripping with sarcasm]

 

bump, as the first game is about to get under way.

 

Damn you Charter for having a bad satellite or something. We're getting Pitt/WVU.

 

I'd love to see either that game or the Duke/UNC game. Instead I'm stuck listening to it from the radio feed online. While the announcers are much more bearable, not being able to see it sucks.

 

David Aldridge is reporting the presence of David Aldridge.

 

If they keep playing at this pace, Duke won't be able to keep up. That is if UNC starts playing better defense.
