Fan Room Live 2: Duke-UNC rematch means more live, in-studio analysis
Posted February 26, 2018 12:20 p.m. EST
With the race for double byes in Brooklyn still red hot, the second Battle of the Blues will likely have plenty of implications for the structure of the ACC Tournament bracket.
When North Carolina and Duke met three weeks ago, both teams were struggling. The Blue Devils had lost two of three, UNC had just days before ended a three-game losing streak by beating last-place Pittsburgh.The Tar Heels got an 82-78 win that night in Chapel Hill, and both teams have gone on winning streaks since.
UNC has won six in a row, and they'll enter Saturday's game having only played two games in 10 days. Duke has ripped off five straight after losing to UNC, and the Blue Devils will have four consecutive days off ahead of the matchup.
While you take in the second Battle of the Blues on ESPN, be sure to head on over to WRALSportsFan.com or the WRALSportsFan app to take in our second "second-screen" experience with Adam Gold, Joe Ovies and Lauren Brownlow.
The trio will once again be holed up in the 99.9 FM The Fan studios (with plenty of food, we assume) to provide instant reactions and analysis.
The second-screen experience is set to begin at about 7:30 p.m., meaning you'll likely get a hefty dose of NC State-Louisville takes, too.
After the game, watch WRAL News on Fox 50 for highlights and live news conferences with both head coaches.
