I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

Please note that Duke and Carolina have NEVER played each other in the NCAA Tournament. Your writers may be confusing that game with an ACC Tournament game or regular season game.
