Tar Heels See Duke as Much Improved Since First Meeting

Posted Mar 9, 2024
Seventh-ranked UNC holds a one-game lead in the ACC standings and has clinched at least a share of the regular-season title. But a win for No. 9 Duke would claim a tie for the top spot. The Blue Devils enter their Senior Night winners of eight of its last nine games, and have won six straight on its home floor. Duke is playing its best basketball of the season.
