On March 6th, number 18 North Carolina faces number 1, Duke in the Tar Heals final regular season game on Saturday, March 7th at 6th, 30 p.m. Eastern time. It's at the Dean Smith Center in Chapel Hill on ESPN. UNC sits at 24 wins and 6 losses overall, 12 and 5 in the ACC, while Duke boasts 28 and 2, 16 and 1 in conference, play. UNC just gutted out a 67 to 64 win over Clemson on senior night, with Luca Bogevac dropping 20 points to lead the way. Meanwhile, Duke's on fire with 7 straight victories, including ranked triumphs over then number 20 Clemson, then number 1 Michigan, and then number 11 Virginia. They've topped 90 points three times and hit 100 twice in that streak. Fans are buzzing about the rivalry, where North Carolina leads the all-time series 146 to 120. The last match of 1 to the Tar Heals 71 to 68, back on February 7th.

Duke wants payback bad, but UNC star Caleb Wilson, who scored 23 that night, is questionable with an injury. To pull this off, Carolina needs to dominate the paint and rebounding after getting outdone there lately, especially against Duke's Cameron Booser. Who's leading with 22.6 points, 10 rebounds, and 4 assists per game?
