    Interesting perspective on how Duke,UNC, and Wake have recently changed college basketball:

    As usual, although the article talks about all three schools, they conveniently left off the word "North" in the headline and led with a picture of our favorite Tar Heel.

    Thumbs down Will Blythe quoted in the article and ,of Duke, he remarks...

    ...that UNC fans may "tremble" at the superior school's success.
    May his hands be shaking after the game!

    Seems like there's a carolina fan at the Wall Street Journal, but all's good, I thought it was a unbiased and good read.

    Kind of a silly article. I'm not sure why they decided to write about the pace of the games in lieu of giving a more complete history of the successes of and rivalries between the Big Four schools. I was left scratching my head when I finishing reading.

    Duke, North Carolina and Wake Forest, which are all currently ranked in the nation's top seven, are located in Durham, Chapel Hill and Winston-Salem, respectively. Their campuses are so close together that a determined person could visit them all in a single day -- by bicycle.
    I wouldn't recommend taking a bicycle out on I-40.
