Posted Mar 8, 2013
Duke won’t succumb to the national championship and Final Four banners of the jerseys honoring the Rosenbluths, Jordans, Jamisons and Hansbroughs of Carolina lore. But the third-ranked Blue Devils can lose to the new-and-improved Tar Heels. The most important matchup of the game centers around 6-foot-11 Duke senior forward Ryan Kelly and 6-6 UNC sophomore P.J. Hairston. (Fox Sports Carolinas)
