Duke at North Carolina, three to know preview

Posted Mar 7, 2015
Both teams have played four games since the Blue Devils beat the Tar Heels 92-90 in overtime Feb. 18. In each of the previous five seasons, the Duke-UNC rematch had a larger final margin than the first game. One key difference in this game could be Duke's recent preference for a smaller lineup. The Blue Devils have been starting wing Matt Jones, pushing small forward Justise Winslow to power forward and relegating Amile Jefferson to a reserve role. (Fayetteville Observer)
