Yep, you guys will get us back sooner or later, respect for taking it with class!
I was looking over the stats: Duke has won 46-44 in the last 90 games, speaks to rivalry but we have the edge right now.
You were right UNC was better in terms of the last 10 years in terms of national titles (2005, 2009) but Duke has been better overall the last 25 Years overall (1991,1992, 2001 2010). Unc has 3 titles in that same time period (1993, 2005, 2009).
Overall UNC has a one title edge with 5 but we are looking at titles from 1957 and 1982 which is back in the day before Duke was competitive, I admit this fact.
Duke has the edge in ACC Tournament Championships as well 19-17.
Unc has won more in the regular season overall 29-19 but that is changing.
Since 1990, when as you rightly said Duke came along (I agree) Duke has one 4 National Titles to UNC 3 titles.
So looking at it objectively, the last 25 years Duke has been better but UNC has been better overall since the 1920's.
If we are counting back in the day, UCLA, Kentucky lead the pack but many of those titles were before many of us were born.
Both teams have an outstanding tradition, UNC dating way back, Duke more so in the last 25 years.
You notice Roy honored coach K tonight, they are close and have great respect, so should fans even if we dislike each other on the court.
As you know, all is thrown out in the tournament play, so anything can happen!
Most was just poking fun and banter but much respect as both go forward!
Ya I talk trash but can handle it when we lose. I respect coach K but don't think he is the greatest college coach. His achievements still can't be over looked though. No disrespect but he doesn't do a great job developing his players for the nba. He will go down as one of the greatest college coaches and was honored tonight because Duke did show class and respect to the late great Dean Smith as well as the fans so props to you guys for that.
Again you guys have had a great season so far, not going to wish you luck, but do hope to see you guys again this season.
The only thing you guys have over carolina is ACC tournament titles haha
