I would love for Duke and North Carolina to play for a fourth time – hopefully once again with everyone healthy.  Ideally, that would happen not at 9:45 pm EST when I am falling in and out of sleep and preferably, not 15 minutes after watching Purdue lose.

But these teams are so crazy athletic compared to some of the other teams.  Watching how quickly North Carolina gets out in transition – they can score in seconds off a missed shot or steal – there was one play where North Carolina got the rebound, dribbled twice to get out of the crowd getting the rebound – and the ball never touched the floor again until it had gone through the basket seconds later.

Zion Williamson is a beast – I don’t think there is a way to stop him.  But Duke has a lot more than just Williamson.  They might not have the bench depth that some teams have – but when you have a starting five of Williamson, RJ Barrett, Cam Reddish, Tre Jones and Javin DeLaurier, you don’t need to play your bench for a large amount of time.

I have been watching a lot of basketball this week, and while sometimes a little sloppy, the two games I watched with Duke and UNC looked just a little bit more athletic and a ton faster than the other games I have seen.  So, as a college basketball fan, I would love to watch these two teams play again – just maybe when I am less likely to fall asleep and be sad about my Boilers.
