North Carolina vs. Duke Men: How to watch, TV channel, streaming, start time, predicted lineups and stats
Rusty Gorelick
One of the biggest rivalries in all of college sports takes place on Saturday, when the North Carolina Tar Heels (13-9, 6-4 ACC) visit the No. 2 Duke Blue Devils (18-2, 10-0 ACC).
Duke's leading scorers - Wooden Award favorite Cooper Flagg and Kon Knueppel - have greatly improved their three-point shooting in the last 10 games, which has helped the Blue Devils on their active 14-game winning streak.
The Tar Heels have trended in the opposite direction, and they've lost three out of their last four games, all against unranked teams. North Carolina has not been ranked in an AP Poll since early December, and they're four games back from first-placed Duke in the ACC.
Will Duke further cement itself as a National Championship contender while casting more doubt on North Carolina's tournament chances, or will the Tar Heels get back on track in a hostile environment?
