UNC, Duke women enter rivalry game unranked, undeterred

Posted Jan 22, 2016

The rivals meet Sunday as unranked teams for the first time in 24 years. With a roster down to six healthy scholarship players because of transfers and injuries, the Tar Heels knew this was going to be a rough season. (Associated Press)
