As a Tar Heel, we know we are born rivals with Duke, especially when it comes down to the uproar in the basketball court. With the big UNC V.S. Duke game coming up on Wednesday, it is also a time for us to refresh our memory of this rivalry’s storied past.
Let’s start off by reliving five recent moments that highlight our rival relationship with Duke.
1. March 4, 2007-Tyler Hansbrough’s bloodied nose
On senior night at the Smith Center, Hansbrough tried to take the ball to the rim, Duke’s Gerald Henderson struck him in the face hard with the elbow when trying to level him, with his face covered with blood, there was a second when he attempted to fight the Blue Devil and was held back by his teammates. It is a scene not to be forgotten for both Tar Heel and Duke fans.
