The Rivalry! UNC vs. Duke Part II The Rematch!!!

Hang On! It's Do or Die Time!!!

The last Duke vs. UNC game was a classic! The Tar Heels allowed the Devils to steal one in Chapel Hill by not taking advantage of easy opportunites during the last few minutes of the game. What also helped Duke was the referees swallowing their whistles, and this is not just UNC fan bias, Doug Gottlieb pointed out the missed calls on ESPN today! Check out my preview of the No. 6 UNC vs. No. 4 Duke rematch, should be another good one!

The Referees Cheat N.C. State! Coach K Admits Duke Gets the Calls!!!

The referees cheat N.C. State by making calls for Duke(Thursday Feb. 16). This isn't really news to most, but I am tired of it and something needs to be done. The ACC referees have made some pretty bad calls this week, and most of them during the two N.C. State games. I may do another video entry about the two former State basketball players ejected from the FSU game. I have to gather more information. I called the N.C. State vs. Duke game, early on. I knew the fix was in. Check out my comments about the State game at Twitter @NCSportsGenius1

This is "Middle Class" Matt Nicholson coming at you from the Mecca of basketball, the Triangle area in North Carolina. Here is preview and prediction of the Duke vs. UNC rivalry game on Wednesday, February 8 (9:00 PM ET ESPN). This should be another exciting chapter in this great rivalry, between these two traditional college basketball powers. I predicted the Tar Heels to win, but it should a close game and another good one, even if ESPN isn't hyping up and selling this rivalry as much as they used to.

Pictures from the North Carolina Pro AM Part II

You can see Kyrie Irving and Austin Rivers. Jay Williams is in the middle and all three Dukies are posing together for the cameras.

Past, present, and the future, Jay Williams, Kyrie Irving(this years #1 pick in the NBA Draft), and the much hyped Austin Rivers who will attend Duke Unversity this year.

Austin Rivers talking to former Duke great Jay Williams.

Austin Rivers should be a really good college player right from the start. Rivers is not a great athlete which may prevent him from ever becoming an NBA all-star. Rivers should put up huge numbers at Duke and then have a long ordinary career in NBA, but he seems to have killer instincts and that goes a long way. Other Duke players have killer instincts as well and it did not translate to NBA superstardom.

This is Austin Rivers shooting a free throw. Rivers is not a great jumper nor does he have great foot speed which means he will fit right in at Duke. Like other Duke stars of the past, Rivers is a great shooter, and unlike many of Duke's former players, he has great body control. He plays with a Kobe Bryant type swagger, which makes one wonder how he will mix with Coach K's military style idea of a team next year. Rivers would talk to the crowd and throw up hand signs after a good play. One time the crowd told him to shoot and put up one from about half court. I doubt he does that while he is playing for Coach K next year, if he tries, it should be interesting!

There were some pretty good players on the court this night. Pictured here is Austin Rivers, son of Doc Rivers, coach of the Boston Celtics. Seth Curry, son of Dell Curry and brother of Stephen Curry who plays for the Golden State Warriors. Also Darius Johnson-Odom who plays for the Marquette Golden Eagles. Johnson-Odom was the second best player on the floor during this game. Seth Curry shot the ball well, but other than that, nothing noteworthy. After, seeing Curry in person he is no more than 6-0 foot. Johnson-Odom's star was only out shinned by Rivers, but that should not be too much of a surprise. Johnson-Odom averaged almost 16.0 pts. a game last year and Rivers is considered by most, a one and done next year.

Don't know why Austin Rivers is bowing. Maybe he is getting ready for the Duke vs. UNC game!
