Four big questions surrounding UNC-Duke showdown

Posted Mar 8, 2013
The Tar Heels already have clinched a first-round bye for the ACC tournament, and a win Saturday would give UNC players/fans reason to puff out their chests. Catching Duke and tying the Blue Devils for second place would be quite an accomplishment for Roy Williams' relatively young, team. And it would mean that the Tar Heels finish at least a game ahead of N.C. State, the preseason pick to win the league. (Fayetteville Observer)
