That's why there's nothing better than North Carolina vs. Duke
Posted Feb 9, 2012
Duke vs. Carolina is mostly about basketball, but the rivalry is about magic. It’s about Walter Davis banking one in to finish off an 8-point rally in 17 seconds – before the shot clock AND the 3-pointer – to force an overtime the Tar Heels would win. It’s about Jeff Capel burying a mid-court runner to force a second overtime that an undermanned Duke team would eventually lose.
