PREVIEW: North Carolina vs. Duke, Round 1! | What matchups are key? | Defense, Rebounding CRITICAL

North Carolina hosts Duke on Saturday evening in the first matchup of the two rivals in 2023-24. The Tar Heels are coming off a loss at Georgia Tech, which resulted in the players holding a meeting on Tuesday night after returning to campus, according to Armando Bacot. Is that a good or bad thing? The matchups always play a key role in the UNC / Duke rivalry. Who wins the backcourt showdown of RJ Davis and Elliot Cadeau vs. Tyrese Proctor and Jeremy Roach? Can Cormac Ryan shut down Jared McCain on the wing? Who will gain the advantage between Armando Bacot and Kyle Filipowski? Isaac Schade and Coach Pac Kilby give you their four corners preview, including conversation on defense, rebounding, turnovers, and foul trouble.

What's the biggest factor in UNC beating Duke on Saturday?

@mikeshaw4610 says:

After all is said and done this just makes the Duke games all that more important. If we beat Duke we still in good shape. I would rather lose to GT and beat Duke than the other way around.

@anthonygreen3331 says:

Hubert needs to start Washington an let Bacot ride the bench. He doesn't want to play. Let the guys who bring energy to the team.

@michaelmuldrow492 says:

Go tarheels need to stay out of foul trouble and everyone needs to play hard Carolina 85 Duke 80

@chowido76 says:

UNC 72 Duke 65…

@Majesticon says:

As a 40 year Heels fan, i predict a UNC victory 100-69.

As a 40 year basketball fan, I think Duke wins 78-71. We simply cannot make shots. They're not falling. UNC will scrap and claw and fight and that makes me excited for this team, but without an extra scorer to compliment RJ we aren't gonna beat a team that has potentially 4 nba draft picks that is playing a lot better.

@Michael-dd6hl says:

Finally, Armando better get us 18 points and 12 rebounds. The slacking needs to stop. Demand that ball dude.

@Michael-dd6hl says:

Free Throws and turnovers are the two important factors.

@Michael-dd6hl says:

I'm a die hard Heel. But, I think a win ends the regular season chase. Duke 82. Carolina 78 . Hope I'm wrong fellow Heels.

@stayvigilant7856 says:

Let Go TAR HEELS!!

@michaelriggs9232 says:

Cadeau needs to hold his own.
Somebody needs to go off for us
Free throws!

These teams are evenly matched for the most part. Whomever has the best day will win.

ISAAC , coach Pac , coach Rob someday I hope you all can meet each other as well as I like to meet all of y'all all three of y'all make a good show
Here is my question you can use on four corners or have you like to chose so who will become our second scoring option and how many points

@markking9093 says:

i think it will come down to bench points.

@tomasjohnson7780 says:

And as always, Beat Duke every time no matter what !

@tomasjohnson7780 says:

ACC Regular season title and bigger lead on the rest of the conference
