With a capital A!  That’s right, it’s that time of the year again.  North Carolina and Duke square off tonight at 9 pm in one of the more over hyped games of the year.  How do you hype the game when both teams aren’t on their “A” game?  You focus on the fact that they are both coming off a loss for the first time since 2003.

In all seriousness, this should be a good game.  Watching Hansbrough and McRoberts bang into each other all not creating uncalled travels should be a joy.  Prepare for numerous closeups of Coach K and Roy Williams,  as ESPN focuses on the coaching excellence at these schools.  Hell, the biggest surprise about this game is that ESPN isn’t going to air it on 3 channels.  I expect Carolina to win.  I just don’t think Duke is all that good.

There are other ACC teams tonight engaging in a couple of nice matchups as  Boston College (playing for 1st in conference but somehow unranked..hmm) goes to Miami and Florida State travels to Clemson.  I’m guessing the FSU-Clemson game will be the best game of the evening.
