363 days out of the year, John and I get along great. But it’s about time we came clean about something. While we both love the Steelers, we fall on opposite sides of another heated rivalry. Possibly one of the greatest rivalries in all of sports.
John, on the other hand, is a Carolina fan.
Carolina has owned Duke recently, and if Duke plays like they did this past week against Clemson and Miami, they are going to get killed. Duke has been settling for outside shots, have absolutely no inside presence, and have been sloppy in their ball-handling.
Carolina on the other hand, has been on a hot streak since falling to Wake Forest. Carolina has had to deal with some injuries, namely defensive standout Marcus Ginyard and freshman Tyler Zeller. However, Carolina boasts last year’s National Player of the Year Tyler Hansbrough and a stellar point guard in Ty Lawson that can slice and dice with the best of them.
Carolina has won 5 of the last 7 meetings, including 3 in a row at Cameron. Duke’s offense just isn’t clicking right now and Carolina is on a roll. As much as it pains me as a Duke fan to say this, I think Carolina is going to win.
John’s Prediction: UNC 87-74
