Q&A: 2017 national champion Theo Pinson discusses UNC-Duke basketball rivalry

Posted Jan 30, 2025
When I say UNC-Duke, what comes to mind? Theo Pinson: "Battles. It never fails — the anticipation, build-up. Best college game. Best rivalry in sports. Never misses, regardless of what records are, what players are there. My last dunk in my senior year at home. So, just good times. A lot of good times. (The build-up) starts when you go to class." (Daily Tar Heel)
