Familiarity, defense will mark Sweet 16 battle between UNC Women's Basketball and Duke

Posted Mar 27, 2025
UNC and Duke have played 110 times in women's basketball, but never on a bigger stage as they will Friday. It’s a product of the ACC getting eight teams into the field that the first NCAA tournament meeting between the rivals will take place in the Sweet 16, on Friday in Birmingham, Alabama. "It’s something super special," forward Alyssa Ustby said. (Tar Heel Tribune)
