The Duke Blue Devils face the North Carolina Tar Heels at the Dean E. Smith Center on Saturday, March 4. Here’s all the info you need to watch.

When the Duke Blue Devils and North Carolina Tar Heels met the first time in the 2016-17 college basketball season, the former emerged as the victor in a tight contest. The best rivalry in sports doesn’t happen just once a year, though. So on Saturday, March 4, Duke and North Carolina will add another chapter to their rivalry from the Dean E. Smith Center.

Duke has been far less impressive throughout ACC play this season than expected, despite the win over the Tar Heels. They were expected to run through the conference—and most of the country—with the likes of Luke Kennard, Grayson Allen, and freshmen stars Harry Giles and Jayson Tatum. Instead, they’ve been inconsistent with some bad losses on their record. Even still, it’s hard to topple the Blue Devils when they’re at their best.

On the other hand, the Tar Heels look like they picked up where they left off last year as they made it to the National Championship Game. Justin Jackson and Joel Berry have been phenomenal all season. However, the key for North Carolina in Round 2 against their rivals will be having Isaiah Hicks. The Tar Heels are the best rebounding team in the country, but were without one of their individual best in that department in the first meeting. His return should be pivotal.

This classic rivalry matchup out of the ACC will be broadcast on Saturday night on ESPN. That means live streaming will be available through WatchESPN. To access the stream, log in online or through the ESPN app using a cable or satellite subscription.
