When these teams faced each other on Feb. 1, the Blue Devils (27-3, 18-1 ACC) handled the Tar Heels (20-11, 13-6 ACC) with ease. Duke won 87-70 in a game that was essentially never close. In the nine games since Duke has gone 8-1, suffering its one loss against No. 11 Clemson. Those eight Blue Devils wins have come by an average margin of 31.5 points. They’re not just beating teams, they’re destroying them. UNC is currently on a six-game winning streak, though all six of the teams it beat have a losing record in ACC play. The Tar Heels are firmly in the bubble for the NCAA Tournament. A win against No. 2 Duke would essentially guarantee the Tar Heels a spot in “March Madness”. That’s obviously much easier said than done, but rivalries of this magnitude almost always result in close games. R.J. Davis struggled in that February matchup against the Blue Devils, finishing with 12 points on 4-of-11 shooting from the field. The fifth-year senior has had bright moments against Duke in his time at UNC, and he’ll need to step up if the Tar Heels have any chance of winning. Freshman Ian Jackson has come along recently, he’s averaging 14.3 points over the past six games. He’ll also need to have a good game against one of the best defenses in the country. That defense is of course anchored by Cooper Flagg, the likely Wooden Award (best player in college basketball) winner this season. Flagg stuffed the stat sheet with 21 points, eight rebounds, seven assists, three steals and two blocks the last time these two teams played. What is fuboTV?
