Antawn Jamison discusses the significance of UNC-Duke rivalry

Posted Feb 18, 2019
Antawn Jamison: "It’s like no rivalry you can ever compare. To me, at the age of not knowing what you were getting yourself into and just the atmosphere to see the former players all come back and give their support. If you live in the state of North Carolina, it seems like everything is shut down for that game; either you’re pulling for Duke or you’re pulling for Carolina." (Daily Tar Heel)
