Duke-UNC game will be intense
Posted Feb 6, 2008

Duke was suffering through a miserable season that culminated in a first-round NCAA tournament exit against VCU. Despite the loss of Josh McRoberts — or maybe due to the departure of McRoberts — the Blue Devils surprisingly enter tonight's game as the higher ranked team.
