UNC vs. Duke never gets old, even for veteran rivals who have experienced it all

Posted Feb 3, 2024
Saturday’s game at Smith Center will be the 261st time North Carolina and Duke have met on the basketball court. It only seems as though Armando Bacot, R.J. Davis, and Jeremy Roach have played in them all. The trio have been part of the best rivalry in college sports the past 4 – and in Bacot’s case 5 – years. That’s forever in today’s environment.
