These numbers haven't changed much since February 20th. Duke still boasts one of the most potent offenses in the country while UNC is a top 20 defensive team. On the flipside UNC's offense and Duke's defense can both be pretty mediocre at times. This is a classic strength-on-strength battle with the respective weaknesses being roughly the same.
The most important numbers on this chart are the matching 23-7 records and UNC's one game edge in ACC play. Regardless of what happens in this game, there is no one in their right mind who would have thought UNC and Duke would have matching 23-7 marks in early March after UNC started 1-4 in ACC play.
