CHAPEL HILL—Another day, another no-show by the Duke offense.
Two and a half weeks after the Blue Devil’s classic, come-from-behind overtime victory against the Tar Heels at Cameron Indoor Stadium, No. 3 Duke heads to Chapel Hill for the rematch against No. 19 North Carolina Saturday at 9 p.m. at the Dean E. Smith Center. Mike Krzyzewski’s squad has had an active couple of weeks following the first contest against the Tar Heels including a separate comeback, overtime win against Virginia Tech and an absolute throttling of Wake Forest on Senior Night.

The Blue Devils are riding high thanks to an emotional victory against the Tar Heels that involved fighting back from seven points down with two minutes remaining and a furious overtime battle. But Duke will need to keep its emotions in check as it looks to avenge its two poor performances—a loss and a 1-point win—against the Tigers last season.
