The Battle of the Blues is overdue

Posted Feb 18, 2019
The North Carolina-Duke rivalry is the best in college basketball. But this season, it’s also the most overdue. With the first meeting scheduled for Wednesday, February 20, this marks the latest the two teams have waited for the “Battle of the Blues” to commence in the history of the rivalry. That’s late in the season for the first of these games. Ridiculously late. (WRAL Sports Fan)
