Durham Blue Devils vs. Chapel Hill Tar Heels
Duke and UNC are founding members of the ACC whose campuses sit twenty miles apart along the tobacco-road corridor, and their men basketball teams have met more than 250 times since the first game in 1920. The two schools split their ACC regular-season meetings each year inside Cameron Indoor Stadium and the Dean Smith Center, with a long history of consensus All-Americans and NCAA tournament outcomes on both sides. Both programs return multiple conference titles and national championships in every era the league has measured, and the series rolls over whenever both rosters field a ranked contender.
