It’s Duke and North Carlolina time once again

Posted On: March 7, 2008 By: Cliff Comments: (zero)

The big game every Duke and North Carolina fan has been waiting for since the Blue Devils knocked off the Tar Heels on their home court earlier this season.  This time the game will be played at Cameron Indoor Stadium and be broadcast on ESPN HD at 9 p.m. eastern.

I think this came comes right down to Ty Lawson vs Greg Paulus.  Can Paulus slow down Lawson at all?  I don’t think he is going to the entire game, but if he can get Lawson frustrated and force him to take bad shots I think it will affect him as the game goes on.  Paulus cannot pick up any cheap fouls and must stay out of foul trouble as well.  We might see Nolan Smith in the game early if Paulus has troubles slowing Lawson down.

Another matchup that scares me again is Tyler Hansbrough down low for the Tar Heels.  He will dominate Brian Zoubek, I expect Zoubek and Lance Thomas to pick up a lot of fouls in this game as they try to slow down the big man Hansbrough.

If I had to pick one player that will step up and lead the Blue Devils to victory it would be Senior DeMarcus Nelson.  I think he is going to have a huge game tonight scoring over 20 points and leading the Blue Devils to a 3 point victory!
