As we go to press the North Carolina Tar Heels have hit a rough patch in the 2014-15 ACC Schedule.  They have lost their last three out of four and two of the three losses were to the #3 Wahoos and the #10 Cards of the 'Ville. Now they get a Blue Devils Bunch that's won five ACC games in a row including W's over the Wahoos, Fighting Irish, the 'Noles, and the 'Cuse. Something has to give as the 'Heels try to stay in the hunt for at least a #4 seed in March Madness.

Delicious Match Ups

Britt/Paige vs Jones/Cook
Meeks vs "Big Jah"
Jackson vs Winslow (AAU Teammates Houston Hoops)

PLAYBOOK

The Guard Play will be paramount in this one as Paige was picked by all the coaches as pre- season ACC P.O.Y..

Can the 'Heels slow down "Big Jah" as Okafor passes out of double teams like he is a five-year Vet in the Logo as he is that good offensively...

Justin Jackson against his AAU Teammate Justise Winslow for the Houston Hoops as
 Bloodline Winslow has been a terror looking and playing like Rockets James Harden except at the Small Forward as Winslow is bigger...

UNC Bench vs Duke Bench as Duke's Bench is limited and can the 'Heels get anyone of the Duke Starters in foul trouble?

Rebounds as UNC can pound the offensive glass as that is Duke's Achilles Heel rebounding...

Guard the Arc...run all shooters off 19'9" and force them to make a play dribbling off the deck

"Scrums" who wins them the 50/50 Nike Oranges that will play a huge part in the outcome...

Look for UNC to attack "Big Jah" forcing him to play the Pick and Roll as good as he is on "O" he is simply a liability on "D" and that is putting it mildly...

Stay Aggressive in "Attack Mode"...the "Stripe" Free Throw Line is your friend

Coach Williams vs Coach K on Tobacco Road doesn't get any better than this...

NBA Scouts will be watching closely Marcus Paige (Iowa) vs Tyus Jones (Minnesota) both big-time PG's...
