Anxiety Strikes Cooper Flagg’s Duke as 67 NCAA Teams Stand on Edge After UNC Alum’s Bold Prediction Around Hubert Davis

The Blue Devils stand on the brink of glory. After an exceptionally successful conference season, Cooper Flagg and his team are looking towards a championship. They have one game left in the regular season, and that is against a challenging North Carolina team. Hubert Davis and his Tar Heels have been absolutely demolishing their opponents for the last few games, and look to continue their win-streak against Duke.

However, it isn’t that easy to beat the #2 ranked team in the country. The Blue Devils have a very lengthy roster, being one of the tallest squads in college basketball. On top of that, Jon Scheyer knows what it means to win. He has seen Duke win it all, once as a player, and once as a coach. But Tar Heels alum Tyler Hansbrough believes that North Carolina might be able to get an edge over Duke.

On The Field of 68: After Dark, show hosts Jeff Goodman, Tyler Hansbrough, John Fanta and Matt McCall talked about the upcoming ACC matchup. The former NPOY Hansbrough talked about the changes that the Tar Heels have gone through. He addressed the prior loss against Scheyer’s team, calling his former squad “a different team that Duke saw in Cameron.”

Since then, Davis has been through the wringer. He had his lows, and now he’s having his highs! The Tar Heels have been impenetrable for the last six games, bringing a lot of momentum into this high-stakes matchup for them. To North Carolina’s credit, however, they’ve truly found what works for them. Drake Powell is back at the three and  veterans like Jae’Lyn Withers have been stepping up recently.
