UNC's thrilling win over Duke reminds us why this is America's greatest rivalry

Posted Mar 5, 2017
They played 80 minutes of basketball against each other, so far, and not once in all that time did either UNC or Duke hold a lead that reached double-digits. This is how the Devils and Tar Heels do things, perpetually. They are close geographically, closer competitively. Since Mike Krzyzewski took over the program at Duke, they have played 86 times. Duke has won 44, UNC 42. (Sporting News)
