Tonight, a true test for rivals

Posted Feb 8, 2007

Duke coach Gail Goestenkors and North Carolina coach Sylvia Hatchell each noticed it. Their teams' first matchup was scheduled a week later than it typically falls on the schedule. Tonight's women's basketball game at Carmichael Auditorium is part of ESPN's "Rivalry Week," which happens to fall on the first week of television sweeps -- a period that helps establish advertising rates.
