Duke’s height, length, talent present UNC Basketball with huge challenges


It’s a tall order for North Carolina. The Tar Heels have faced height disparities all season, but nothing like they will at No. 2 Duke on Saturday (ESPN). The Blue Devils are the tallest team in the country, averaging 6–7 per player, while the UNC is 322nd. The Tar Heels’ starters average between 6–3.5. UNC will have to overcome that by pushing the tempo. (Tar Heel Tribune)
