It has become the greatest CBB rivalry and was always simmering but it never ratcheted up like now until about 85 or 86.
Duke had had some decent teams 64,66,68,78 all made the Final Four but they never won where on the other hand when Coach K replaced BIll Foster in 1980 the Heels had like 7 final fours and a couple titles. UNC still leads the series by a considerable margin but it was closed dramatically during Coach K's tenure.
This may be the biggest of them all though coming up. I imagine the ratings will be incredible.
What's more amazing is next fall will feature the first Duke-UNC game without either Dean Smith or Coach K on the sidelines since 1961.
