Joel Berry: "I don’t count N.C. State as being a rivalry"

Posted Feb 6, 2018
The Tar Heels host Duke on Thursday to start a three-games-in-five-days stretch. That includes Saturday’s half-hour trip to face the Wolfpack. But when asked about that stretch having two rivalry games, Berry offered an answer sure to irk the red-clad fans in Raleigh. “Well, I only see one rivalry game with Duke,” Berry said bluntly. “But I don’t count N.C. State as being a rivalry.” (Associated Press)
