Duke or UNC?



It's MARCH MADNESS time! Did you fill out your bracket? Are your teams doing well? Or are you disappointed because the 5 seed you picked over the 12 seed let you down in OT? Or are you sad cause your team isn't even in the tournament? Well as for me in the State of North Carolina, there are two teams who never fail to deliver when it comes to College Basketball and Tournament time: The University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill (Tar Heels) and Duke University (Blue Devils). Two of the most dominating teams in college basketball today and in the past. Most people know the Tar Heels for the 1982 NCAA tournament run in which Michael Jordan hit the famous shot with 16 seconds left that lifted UNC to a Championship win, and likewise Duke known for their back to back run in '91 and '92 with famed stars Grant Hill and Christian Laettner. However, the most thing they're known for is their rivalry. Roughly 7 to 8 miles apart, they are neighbors peering into each others backyards, yet they couldn't be farther from friends. Known to be a key topic across dinner tables all across the state, these two teams keep peoples mind running over who's better, who's worse, and which is truely God's team (most base it off the the color blue and which is more related to the sky). To Sum it up, these are two great teams living in one great state (i'm biased). So I ask you, WHICH TEAM IS TRUELY BETTER? Give me a reason and explain cause who knows I just might change my mind because of your thoughts.

****Better decide for yourself quickly cause a Final Four matchup could be in the process in Two Weeks****

UNC has more made it to the final four mre than Duke (and any other team for that matter). UNC has the most NCAA tournament wins of all time 100 as of this tournament.

But we still love ya if you are a Blue Devil.
