UNC vs. Duke: A Breakdown by the Superlatives

Posted Jul 2, 2020
On two occasions, UNC and Duke have played each other while being the two top teams in the AP Poll. Both times, Carolina went in as #2 and both times they came out with a W. The first of those came on February 3, 1994. Led by Derrick Phelps’ 18 points, UNC came away with an 11-point win. The second of those two occasions is probably the more memorable one.
