'How can it not be a rivalry?' UNC, NC State meet Saturday in Raleigh

Posted Jan 11, 2025
UNC freshman Ian Jackson questioned whether the game was a rivalry after the Tar Heels' 15-point victory against SMU. He got some backing from coach Hubert Davis, who refused to put any more importance on the game Friday. "I consider everybody a rival," Davis said. "I don't look at anybody differently. When you're competing, I'm ready to go." (WRAL Sports Fan)
