Round 233: UNC vs. Duke tips off with more than pride at stake
The first of two regular-season meetings between two of the most hate-filled rivals in American sports goes down tonight when Duke makes the short trip to the Dean Dome to visit North Carolina. As is usually the case in recent years, this game has significant importance in the standings, with […]
Stepping back to look beyond basketball
In keeping with a theme that has been brought up often since Saturday, it’s time to look beyond basketball for a minute.
Memphis Tigers not a finished product
Undisciplined play costs Memphis an opportunity to pick up a win against a top 15 team. In addition, the Tigers lose an opportunity to prove their mettle against the likes of Duke.
