Lucas: One Game

Posted Feb 10, 2017
In the Roy Williams era, the Tar Heels are now 3-11 in the first meeting of the season against Duke, and have won just once in the last eight initial battles. But they are 8-5 in the return game, which this year will come on March 4. It’s a baffling stat. Same two teams. Usually just a matter of weeks separating the games. This one? It’s one game. The second one? It’s for a season. (GoHeels.com)
