SERIES HISTORY
Carolina leads 50-47 in the series with Duke. Each team won on their home court last season. Paris Kea had a career-high 36 points in a 92-86 overtime win in Chapel Hill, while Duke won 70-54 in Durham.
LAST TIME OUT
A week after upending a No. 1-ranked team, North Carolina's surging women have another big upset: this one against the nation's last unbeaten team in seventh-ranked rival North Carolina State.
Stephanie Watts scored 20 points to help the Tar Heels beat the Wolfpack 64-51 on Sunday, ending N.C. State's 21-game winning streak to start the season.
N.C. State (21-1, 8-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) came in leading the league standings and as the only unbeaten team in Division I on the men's or women's side. But that program-record start ended as the Tar Heels (14-9, 5-4) took over after halftime while the Wolfpack struggled to knock down shots.
As for the Tar Heels, it was exactly a week ago that they earned their first win against a No. 1-ranked team in nearly 13 years when they beat Notre Dame at home. Then, after edging Georgia Tech on Thursday, the Tar Heels went on the road against a longtime rival in front of a sellout crowd and earned another huge win.
That's four in a row overall for a team that has gone from one game above .500 to surging with confidence in a short time.
