Jason, since “everyone has an opinion on what’s going to happen tonight,” what is your fearless prediction? I say Good Guys 68, Bad Guys 79! Yes I am a Tar Heel fan, predicting Duke! They are clearly the better team this year.

Kevin:
Tyler was actually the first guy I reached out to on this story, but I never heard back from him. Which certainly isn’t like Tyler, but with books and basketball these kids get busy too.
I’ve watched him a ton and talked to him a ton and I agree he’ll surprise a lot of people.
Thanks.

L-Burna, then why ask any of them?
Seems they all fell along their respective side of the rivalry. (Which is the point.)
This rivalry extends in all directions.

All I CAN SAY IS NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS TONIGHT…..WHAT A GREAT YEAR TO SEE WHAT MANY ALREADY KNEW….ROY WILLIAMS IS A LOUSY COACH…IN FACT, ONE OF THE WORST COACHES MANY HAVE SEEN IN YEARS. IT IS TRUE HE CAN RECRUIT, BUT WHAT AN AWFUL JOB HE IS DOING WITH ALL THE MCDONALD’S ALL AMERICAN, AND THE EXCUSES….MY GOSH. JUST GOES TO SHOW HOW PRECARIOUS THE GAME IS AND HOW SO MANY CAN BE FOOLED BY GUYS STICKING AROUND LONGER THAN NORMAL IN 2 SEPERATE YEARS AND MAKING A BAD COACH LOOK GOOD. DUKE ALWAYS HAS A VETERAN, PROVEN LEADER ON THEIR SIDELINES, AND THINK ABOUT ALL THE YEARS WHERE COACH K WON WITH AND W/OUT FULL AND MAJOR TALENT. THESE ARE THE FACTS. I AM SO PROUD TO SAY EVERY YEAR THAT MY TEAMS ARE MY ALMA MATER NCSU AND OF COURSE THE TEAM THAT GETS THE MOST OUT OF WHAT THEY’VE GOT……DUKE!

Lburna, I see what you’re saying, but with that mentality, why do this piece at all? The Duke kids will pick Duke and UNC will pick UNC. Regardless, it’s fun to see.

Kevin, I’m pretty sure Tyler Thornton assessment would have been nice, but don’t we already know what he would have said? As a Duke recruit, it’s not like he’s predicting UNC to win.
