Should be a great game. This time UNC has the "home" field advantage even though Duke gets to sleep in their own beds. Should be a great game based on the last time they went to OT. I'll take UNC 17-16.

This is shaping up to be one of the best games of the season. 6 of the past 8 Duke-UNC matches have been decided by one goal, and I also really doubt it will be another defensive battle like the first one. I'm hoping UNC puts a long pole on Joe Robertson this time around, as I really don't think Duke's second best midfielder is better than he is.

With Carolina's second midfield playing much better than they were on April 1st, I think they have the edge in this one.

15-14 Tar Heels

It’s a coin flip, but I’m saying Heels by a two. ACC is the any given Sunday conference.

ESPN announcer: "Arguably the best passing midfielder in the country." You can't make this stuff up. What metric do you use to decide the best passer in the country.

The guy makes basic passes to wide open guys. Tom made passes nobody saw coming....with either hand.....off the dodge.

Until I said that...

How does Gray have 7 shots in a half and Sowers only 1? I swear Duke is desperate to win without showcasing Sowers. Stupid.

Tom is a once in a lifetime player, IMO.

The 3 musketeers when Brendon scores goal 6, sounded like 3 HS girls in line at Starbucks when pumpkin spice is back on the menu.

Yes. Challen Rogers was a helluva passing middie also. Vastly underrated. One of the best I saw over a 4 year period.

Then you also missed Dano, yelling at someone to get their S together. Could t make out who it was.

If anyone doesn't understand the ACC Network selling ACC sports, then they probably get crazy by a lot of things in life.

NC is pumped up...

Its not that we don't understand it. The question is when, if ever, is there no shame.
