Duke vs. UNC's game

Duke University's basketball team, the Blue Devils, is having a stellar season, boasting an impressive 16-2 record, with a perfect 8-0 record in conference play.

The Duke's strong season has been fueled by freshman sensation Cooper Flagg, the top recruit in 2024. He's enjoying huge success, including a recent standout performance against Boston College, where he scored 28 points, five rebounds, four assists, two steals, and two blocks. His dominant performance helped Duke secure an 88-63 victory and extend their win streak to 12 games.

He has averaged 19.2 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game, while shooting an impressive 48.8% from the field, showcasing his efficiency and all-around skills.

On the other hand, their rival, North Carolina's Tar Heels, has had a somewhat disappointing season so far. With a record of 12-8 overall and 5-3 in conference play, they're not quite living up to expectations.

They lost their previous game against Wake Forest Demon Deacons (67-66) with just one point separating both teams.

John Vincent Calipari's men won the first half against Wake Forest (29-31) but failed to build on their dominance and lost (38-35) in the second half.

Even though they haven't been playing their best basketball this season, you can expect them to bring their top game in the Duke vs. UNC clash, especially with the added excitement of College GameDay being there.
