Retro THB: 1994 UNC at Duke
With UNC-Duke happening this weekend I thought it would be fun to reach back and watch one of the older versions of this rivalry. The year is 1994, UNC had just won an NCAA title a year after Duke had gone back-to-back. The Tar Heels returned four starters and added a talented freshman class. UNC started the season ranked #1 and while played at high level was never quite as good as everyone expected. Duke was bouncing back from a 2nd Round loss in 1993 and the graduation of Thomas Hill and Bobby Hurley. The two teams met on March 5th in Durham with Duke already having clinched the #1 seed in the ACC Tournament and UNC at #2.
Let's take a trip to 22 years ago.
