It's a pretty big ordeal every single time Duke and North Carolina get together, but Wednesday's game has an extra layer of intrigue as the Blue Devils seek to put another cherry on the crow sundae that the national media has been eating during this four-game winning streak.
No doubt about it, January was a disaster for the Blue Devils.
Against poor excuses for competition, they were able to tread water without Amile Jefferson for about a month. But then they started to drown, suffering four losses (at Clemson, vs. Notre Dame, vs. Syracuse and at Miami) in a span of less than two weeks to drop out of the AP Top 25 for the first time in nearly a decade.
