Expierence versus elite young talent Carolina and Duke

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Last year Carolina was basically in the same boat with everyone saying Carolina had to beat Duke in Durham during the celebrated Coach K’s swan song at Cameron to have any chance of getting into the big dance.

The whole basketball world lead by a gigantic ESPN promotional blitz felt there would be no chance of a Tar Heel win on that fateful Saturday but when the smoked cleared a packed house including a 100 Blue Devil letterman left shaking their head wondering what happened and the ESPN crew quickly exited Cameron.

Just like last season Duke has a ton of McDonald All Americans but also like last season they are very young and almost none of them except for Roach have played in such a high emotional contest and I feel that 4 expierenced Carolina starters who have played in these battle of blues will make the difference.

A rowdy crowd will also make a big difference and May end up rattling the young Duke unit.

Senior night and a must win results in a more experienced squad team downing a young talented team. Carolina at home will also get more than three shots from the free throw line this time around…

Oddly, each game we played duke last season, we were not in any way expected to win, even within our own fan base. Was there a UNC fan that actually really deep inside believe we would win that last game in Cameron or that final 4 game? Not gonna lie, I didn't, I prayed it would be close but to win either, I will confess, didn't think we would and frankly, didn't think we could. We did and I was HUGE HAPPY we did it. This season, the stakes are not as high, we can beat duke, we can beat duke by 20, I am just not convinced we will win, hope I am once again proven wrong!
