N.C. State vs. UNC not what it used to be Posted Feb 3, 2007 Today the Duke-North Carolina rivalry has much more juice. It has since Mike Krzyzewski rebuilt Duke's program to national prominence and Duke and North Carolina started trading No. 1 rankings, ACC titles and trips to the Final Four. When North Carolina comes to the RBC Center this afternoon to face NC State for the 209th time, it'll be the rivalry equivalent of an appetizer for the Tar Heels. (Winston-Salem Journal)
