Episode Description

Reese, Kmac and Alex discuss tomorrow night's matchup between Duke and Carolina. 

The Duke Blue Devils men’s basketball team will host the North Carolina Tar Heels tomorrow night at Cameron Indoor Stadium, with tip-off expected around 6:30 p.m. ET. Duke enters the matchup ranked No. 1 nationally and riding an impressive ACC regular-season performance, while North Carolina, ranked in the top 20, is coming off a win against Duke earlier this season. Caleb Wilson has been sidelined since Feb. 10 with a fractured left hand suffered in a loss to Miami. With UNC already locked into a top-four seed and a double bye in the conference tournament, the team now has extra time before its next postseason game, which could make resting Wilson the safer long-term decision. However, the rivalry matchup against Duke, one of college basketball’s most intense rivalries, adds emotional weight, especially if Wilson is close to returning and could provide a boost for UNC heading into March. What should Wilson do? Will he return Saturday? Should he? Is Duke truly the best team in the country? Does this Duke team have any flaws? Who will win?
