This will be the two teams’ 245th all-time meeting. North Carolina leads the series, 135-109. In the past 38 years, however, the series is tied. Even more remarkably, Duke has scored one point more than North Carolina in all of their matchups since 1979.

Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski is 44-40 versus North Carolina, while Tar Heels coach Roy Williams is 12-17 against the Blue Devils while at Carolina (13-20 all-time, including his Kansas tenure).

Duke is 11-7 in the 18 previous matchups with North Carolina in the ACC Tournament. Amazingly enough, this is only the fifth time in those 245 games that these two teams are meeting outside the state of North Carolina.
