It's here: the first "Battle of the Blues" of this basketball season. UNC and Duke tip off at the Smith Center at 9 p.m. Wednesday.
The last time both teams met, Duke beat UNC to win the ACC Tournament. But for the first time in a while, this game is not for first place in the ACC. That honor belongs to Florida State, which has already beaten both teams.
When it comes to coaching, Mike Krzyzewski is 36-36 against UNC and Roy Williams is 8-9 against Duke.
NBC-17 is excited about a new partnership with InsideCarolina.com, the most successful sports website in the country that focuses on a specific college. Click on the video player above as InsideCarolina.com reporter Dijana Kunovak gives us a closer look at Wednesday night's big match-up.
