<p>A reminder to sports fans…get off the computer, time for the best rivalry in college sports, at least imho—Duke vs UNC basketball! 9PM ESPN. I love these games.</p>
<p>On a somber note, I believe they’re having a moment of silence for Eve Carson.</p>
<p>I have a TV tuner card… I’m watching it on my computer. ;)</p>
<p>2331–I am waiting to watch the game, too. I would respectfully change your wording to “the best rivalry in college BASKETBALL.” The Ohio State-Michigan game is the best rivalry in college football–imho, of course! In any case, they are both exciting rivalries!!!</p>
<p>1of42: don’t you have mid terms?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yep. Been studying since 10 AM… definitely a good day’s worth. Now time to relax and watch the game (and, of course, do some work at the same time).</p>
<p>SportsMama, ARMY-NAVY is THE BEST Rivalry in all of sports bar none. It just means so much more.</p>
<p>But Go UNC:)</p>
<p>East coast bias 
UCLA -v- USC is THE rivalry</p>
<p>‘THE game’ is over. UNC wins</p>
<p>UNC by 8. Tyler Hansbrough is amazing.</p>
<p>Sportsmama: Dick Vitale said it tonight actually— this is best college rivalry in all of sports, INCLUDING Michigan-Ohio State football. How can you disagree with DV? ;)</p>
<p>Two classy coaches too.</p>
<p>You mean Duke Vitale don’t you? </p>
<p>Great game even though the refs decided not to call fouls tonight. Very nice that everyone wore Carolina blue ribbons for Eve…and loved it that our Tar Heels had her name embroidered on their jerseys.</p>
<p>Agree, ldmom. They did an incredible job. Go Heels! ;)</p>
<p>Not everyone wore the ribbons. The Duke coaching staff did not participate in the tribute to Ms. Carson.</p>
<p>Yes, 2331, I had to chuckle when I heard Dick Vitale say that. I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree–even though DV said it. The once a year meeting for OSU-Michigan seems to make it just a little bit more intense. Again, that’s my opinion–coming from someone who was born and raised in OSU’s backyard. Aren’t college sports great?!</p>
<p>tyr: Is that true? If so, that’s really unforgivable. I know the Duke fans (those in the stands) certainly wore them.</p>
<p>You’re right-- I went back and looked at the still photographs. That’s pretty bad-- no excuse for that, really.</p>
<p>Coach K and his staff let their true colors come through…they were the ONLY people in the house without the Carolina blue ribbons…of course he won’t even refer to UNC by name …called them “our opponent tonite…” Several weeks ago in an interview on ESPN, he said that he had only been in Chapel Hill and or on Franklin Street one time in the 28 years he’s been at Duke when not there for a game.</p>
<p>You have to be kidding? He’d rather spend time in Durham?</p>
<p>Nothing more needs to be said.</p>
<p>Well, they will probably meet again for the ACC Championship game.</p>
<p>Duke beat UNC at UNC - UNC beat Duke at Duke.</p>
<p>The rubber match shoud be fun…;)</p>
<p>Thanks, eadad. Yes, I think that choice the Duke coaching staff made was extremely questionable and amazingly disrespectful. Definitely losers. </p>
<p>It was good to see the Duke students/fans wearing them, though.</p>
<p>Did anyone wear ribbons after the recent death of a Duke grad student?</p>
<p>^^Did they play a game right after that death? If so, did everyone in the stands and all the players wear ribbons but not the NC coaching staff?
Let’s face it- Coach K blew this one. Even Bobby Knight would have worn the ribbon.</p>
<p>I guess I’d rather wait to hear his explanation before a rush to judgment.</p>
<p>Is it possible that no one gave them ribbons prior to the game?</p>
