North Carolina vs Duke in Final Four
This coming up Saturday will feature Kansas against Villanova in the Final Four, followed by Duke against North Carolina. The winners will play Monday for the national championship. Duke and North Carolina is by far the best rivalry in college basketball. It might be the best rivalry in all of sports. In the last 99 games (since coach K took over, who will be coaching his last rivalry game this Saturday) the teams are 50-49 and the total number of points is nearly identical. All time the records and points are close as well. I can't possibly imagine how a fan of either program is feeling. For Duke, they made it to the final four in coach K's last season. For North Carolina, they made it to the final four in Hubert Davis' first season. Each school would be thinking reaching the final four would make for a tremendously successful season. But, one of these teams is going to lose to their arch-rival and then have to watch their arch-rival potentially win the national champion...
