Game Thread: North Carolina at Duke 2/20/2019 9pm ET

[Kace-1]

The Tar Heels and Blue Devils have a rivalry. According to the NCAA, UNC leads 137-111 and also own the longest winning streak which is 16, back in the 1920s.

These institutes are separated by just shy of 10 miles.

Can Jay Bilas stfu about Zion blowing out his shoe and claiming that’s the first time that’s ever happened. Manu Ginobili did that in the NBA and I’m pretty sure a few other players as well.

Also Obama is sitting court side. Definitely saw him.

 

[Kace-1]

UNC leads early as President Obama, Ken Griffey Jr., and Spike Lee are among those in the audience.

Really hope Zion isn't seriously hurt

Only two miles separate Xavier and Cincy

DU's building a house with all these bricks.

I remember that crazy ass brawl they had years back.

 

[The Derski]

Dear god Duke cannot make threes yet they keep taking them. Sometimes early in the clock.

 

[The Derski]

Zion will not return.

 

[Kace-1]

Williamson is done for tonight, officially.

He is a college basketball announcer.

Why are we assuming he watched a random spurs game in February 5 years ago?

It very well may have been the first time he saw it in a game

I'm pretty sure he doesn't see every single college or nba game that is played

 

[Myles]

I don't like either team. So I'm trying to pull for the underdog (NC). Unfortunately lately they seem to have some annoying players. This game sucks.

You know the exact month and year that happened?

Zion hurt his knee. Kind of reminded me of Steph's injury in the playoffs against Houston. Steph missed a couple weeks but was never the same the rest of the season. Wonder if that's what happened here?

 

[bksballer89]

You know the exact month and year that happened?

Yep. Had to google it because even as a guy with NBALP yearly, I did not remember when that took place

 

[podsox]

2-31 from 3

 

[The Derski]

That’s was a crazy ending.

 

[Kace-1]

Halftime and North Carolina is up 42-32. The Heels have dominated the game so far.

 

[Kace-1]

Meanwhile on Twitter...

If Zion is out shy extended period of time Duke is in trouble . They've been able to make up for their lack of shooting mostly because of him
