The Tar Heels (23-6, 11-5 ACC) and Blue Devils (28-2, 16-1 ACC) delivered an instant classic on February 7 in Chapel Hill. North Carolina trailed nearly the entire game, but thanks to Seth Trimble's game-winner, won 71-68.

To no one's surprise, College GameDay will also air live from Durham ahead of Saturday night's rematch. Duke students camping in tents, right outside Cameron Indoor Stadium, will almost certainly be the first ones inside for GameDay this weekend.
