UNC vs. Duke is GREAT for college basketball | Worried about the refs? | Spring football updates

The North Carolina Tar Heels and Duke Blue Devils are finally meeting in the NCAA Tournament and it’s going to be exactly the shot in the arm that college basketball needs on the national level as we see Paolo Banchero square off with the likes of Brady Manek. It also helps that two more blue bloods (Kansas and Villanova) are on the other side of the bracket. It’s great for TV numbers, it’s going to be great basketball. The four teams have combined to win four of the last six NCAA Tournaments and seven of the last 13.

Given the sub-par refereeing across the NCAA Tournament, many have reached out to ask if they should be concerned about the refs giving UNC an unfair whistle on Saturday to help boost Duke’s chances. My answer is: Not on an intentional level, but that the humanity might sneak its way through when push comes to shove down the stretch of a close game. We’ll have to wait and see.

Coach Mack Brown met with the media on Tuesday to provide updates from Monday’s Pro Day as well as looking ahead to April 9 and the Spring Football Game which will be dedicated to WR Tylee Craft, who has cancer.

I'm enjoying your podcast but I have to be real with you, Isaac. Every day you thank me for making this my first listen, and every day I say nothing because I don't want to hurt your feelings. But it's time to be honest. Locked On Tar Heels is not my first listen every day. And – I understand if you need it sit down – it never will be (except by accident sometimes). No amount of thanking me for it will ever change that. Please understand – it's not your fault! I'm just my own person and with my own routines. But just because I don't make it my first listen doesn't mean it's not special! It is. You are. I hope you understand.

Respect to Coach K but I sincerely hate Duke I wish we could've met them for the chip I just hope beating Duke again doesn't distract us from the ultimate goal

If you don’t love the rivalry if you are not going to watch this rivalry in the final four this weekend if there’s anybody that I know who is not going to watch this or pay any attention to it they are simply not human that’s how I feel honestly. And honestly, for those who are not watching whoever that is which I don’t know anybody who is not going to watch, I don’t love them. I’m not going to lie. Those who are not paying attention I don’t love.
