Game of the Weekend: #22 uNC (12-4) at #4 Duke (13-2)
Storyline: This is it ladies and gentleman, this is North Carolina vs. Duke. The stakes couldn't be higher as these to rivals look to bounce back from their losses on Friday and win the showdown on Saturday morning. When it comes to great rivalries, coach girt25 knows what he's talking about. He expects this rivalry to "blossom into something of the magnitude of Hulk Hogan vs. Randy 'Macho Man' Savage". Hopefully, his loose attitude can rub off on his players- they'll need it when thousands of Cameron Crazies are screaming their lungs out.
Key Players:
UNC: PG K. Smith can fill up the stat sheet, averaging 11.7 ppg, 2.6 apg, and 3.1 rpg. Question is, can he play while coach acn24 and girt25 channel their inner Hulk Hogan and "turn into HGH and amphetamine-addled lunatics obsessed with one another's ultimate destruction" on the sideline?
Duke: SG J. Corbin has continued to beast it up since last week's feature, averaging 19.9 ppg while in his final year at Duke
My Pick: Coach girt25 understands that his squad will be at a vast talent and homecourt disadvantage come Saturday, but he questions whether or not it will be enough to overcome "his superior good looks". As for my opinion, I think Duke will have their way and win their second consecutive Game of the Weekend
