The eve of the Duke game at the Smith Center, and people are excited. I don't know what to think. I'm looking forward to seeing these two teams match up. I don't think Duke is as goo as their record, and I think the Tar Heels are better than their record. They are playing better than a five-loss team right now.

Things seem to be coming together for the Heels, while the Devils could be ripe for an upset.

But we know the unstoppable force that is J.J. Redick, and he will be tough to defend. Jackie Manuel won't be suiting up for the Tar Heels. I think Redick averages about 13 points in the Smith Center against the Heels. Expect him to surpass that.

Did you see that the ACC suspended the officials that worked the Florida State/Duke game? It's not an admission of conspiracy, but it is something tangible that says something was wrong during that game. That double technical cost Florida State the game.

But we're on to the Smith Center Tuesday night. It's rivalry week, and what better game to highlight it than Duke/Carolina? Go Tar Heels!
