This week is ESPN's Rivalry Week in men's college basketball. The Duke Blue Devils vs. North Carolina Tar Heels is always a popular game during Rivalry Week, and this year it did not disappoint. With Duke doing better than originally expected (least by me) and the Tar Heels having a poor season in ACC play, I expected a little more of a blow out. However, with Ryan Kelly out and the rivalry atmosphere, it proved correct that anything can happen.
Luckily, Duke came out with the win after trailing for a majority of the game. Seth Curry pulled through, but Ryan Kelly was still missed. It will be clutch if he can be back for March Madness.
The last seven games of the season will continue to be exciting with Duke seeing teams like Miami, Boston, and Maryland. And what other way is there to end the season besides a Duke vs. UNC rematch? The next month of college basketball will definitely continue to be exciting. The most exciting part? March Madness.
