So now I'm worried about the "pagentry" prior to the actual game. They just said on the TennSt - UTMartin game half-time that Carlos celebrating his 25th anniversary of his NC will join Cam, and Cayden will be recognized before the game. "Shades" of the celebration of Coach K final game in Cameron. I hope this doesn't distract from the goal.

Eh, no offense to any of the Boozers, but the hype & pressure of K's last game was WAAAAY beyond what this will be. I'm more concerned (and not really all that much, tbh because this team seems very focused and mature) about our guys mentality going in thinking it's going to be easier since Wilson is out
 
The dawning of a new era in Duke dominance over UNC is upon us. I expect us to win at least 8 out of the next 10 starting with tomorrow.

I’m honestly not being cocky or overconfident; it’s just the way I see the rivalry trending. 🤷‍♂️

Have they acted that way all year? I think they come out hot for revenge. Far more likely we win by 30 than a game going down to the wire imo.

Unfortunate for Wilson but not only will we dawg walk them Saturday but also have a great chance at doing it again next Friday in the semi's. It's goona be a long week for Carolina.

Well, that's only if UNC can beat Clemson (or Va Tech or Wake Forest) on Thursday, which seems a lot less likely without Wilson.

(And of course we have to beat FSU or Cal).

Friendly amendment, unless I’m simply wrong and mine here is an inaccurate amendment: or UofL or SMU or VT.

Best I can tell, Duke’s 8/9 opponent is very much to be determined tomorrow. I haven’t gone through literally every possibility, but I think Duke might get any of UofL, FSU, Cal, SMU, or VT as the 8/9 opponent. (Using this: https://bball.notnothing.net/acc.php?sport=mbb)

I posted on a different thread my preference that Duke avoid UofL. FSU’s hot, SMU’s not.

This is what UNC fans said after they got Harrison Barnes

I don’t follow you.

Duke gets a Harrison Barnes or two every year nowadays, and often at least one player who is clearly better than Barnes was.

And I don’t care what UNC fans say. 🤷‍♂️
