UNC v Duke. Nuff said. UNC beat the Blue Devils way back in February in the semifinals of the indoors (box recap) on its way to winning the event. Duke has definitely performed at a much higher level since then and that past match featured three three-setters which saw both Chen and Harris fail to win a match which is hard to imagine happening twice this season.
A couple of lower to mid-level conference teams who have had up and down seasons have chances to add a quality win to their resumes this weekend. Louisville started out hot and then cooled considerably but plays host to the Florida contingent this weekend and even getting one of these would really help their resume. The Irish face the same teams and one win would be equally big for them. Clemson has two tough road games, at Virginia and at Georgia Tech and if they could snag an upset Friday against the Cavs I am sure they would be thrilled. The Hokies and Panthers both have fairly impossible tasks this weekend, and barring some rest by some key players, they’ll most have a winless weekend. Syracuse vs NC State and Wake Forest at Virginia are also very good matches, as is Wake at BC, but still, it is the final weekend and UNC and Duke are meeting for a rematch. In the words of Kid Danger, feels good!
