My Prediction
Duke Blue Devils by 11Aha, let's get the ball rolling with the Duke Blue Devils showing every sign of ruling the court against the North Carolina Tar Heels. Their recent results have been particularly dominant, crushing oppositions like a can of soda under a bulldozer. Meanwhile, Tar Heels haven't had quite as smooth a run this season, though they've still managed to bounce back with some strong performances.
Let's take a look at these key players; Cooper Flagg's been on fire, posting season averages of 19.6 points, 7.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists for the Devils, and that's not even mentioning Kon Knueppel's dependable contributions. On the Tar Heels' side, RJ Davis has been slicing through defenses with an average of 17.2 points this season, followed by the steady supply of points and rebounds from Seth Trimble.
What's also noteworthy is our journey down memory lane, revisiting previous face-offs between these two giants. The Devils have consistently carried the day in most of their recent matchups. Call it a grudge, call it a rivalry, it just seems Duke knows how to come out on top when they see Tar Heel blue on the other end of the court.
Now, an educated guesser might say here, looking at the brilliant run Duke's had this season with their superb 27-3 record versus North Carolina's respectable but less impressive 20-11... there's a certain blue devilish hue to the outlook. You don't have to be a genius to figure out that Duke's got this thing pretty well lined up.
