In a Final Four matchup for the ages, No. 2 Duke will face No. 8 UNC for the right to play for a national championship game appearance.

In a much-anticipated March Madness tournament game, the No. 2 Duke Blue Devils will take on the No. 8 UNC Tar Heels in the Final Four.

Mike Krzyzewski’s team punched its ticket into the Final Four on Saturday night by taking care of business of Eric Musselman’s Hogs in San Francisco. A day later, Hubert Davis led his alma mater to the Final Four by throughly dominating the Saint Peter’s Peacocks from opening tipoff in Philadelphia. These bitter rivals will be meeting one last time this year with huge stakes at hand.

Here is what you need to know to be able to watch the No. 2 Blue Devils take on the No. 8 Tar Heels in the Final Four next weekend.

Duke vs. UNC Final Four prediction

Even though college basketball fans are guaranteed one blue-blood vs. another for the national championship, the hype behind this national semifinal will be unrivaled. These two teams absolutely hate each other. Expect for emotions to run high and the refs to absolutely play a massive part in how this game shakes out with the loser being so unbelievably bitter about it.

Ultimately, the best player on the floor in this game plays for Duke in Paolo Banchero. Factor in UNC spoiling Coach K’s final game at Cameron Indoor Stadium and you better believe the Blue Devils will have an extra gear the Tar Heels just will not be able to get to. Oh, this game will go down to the wire, but look for Coach K’s career to end on the biggest of stages Monday night.

Prediction: Duke 71, UNC 66.
