From one decade to the next, the UNC-Duke basketball rivalry keeps growing.
The Duke basketball clash with UNC has been the most prolific rivalry in all of college basketball for as long as any basketball fan can remember.
As a blockbuster matchup, known as ‘The Battle of Tobacco Road,’ it has been compared to the great Lakers-Celtics rivalry for the dominance each team holds every year, both in the ACC and on a national scale.
Although the two programs don’t meet until as late as February, the rivalry annually commences on opening night in November.
