Tipoff of UNC-Duke game

This refers to the rivalry, mainly in men's college basketball, between Duke University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill ("UNC").

The rivalry is due, in part, to the close proximity of the two universities (only 8 miles apart on Tobacco Road), and the different funding structure of the two schools (one private and one public).

Duke has won three NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championships and been in 14 Final Fours. North Carolina has won four NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championships and appeared in 16 Final Fours (the men's basketball team was additionally awarded another national championship by the Helms Foundation in 1936 for the undefeated (26-0) 1924 season).

History

Though the two schools had always had the contempt born of familiarity, some of it's earliest roots of contemptuousness occurred in the early 1960's when Duke star and eventual National Player Of The Year Art Heyman got into a brawl on the court with North Carolina's Larry Brown which resulted in suspensions for both players. The rivalry reached unprecedented heights in the mid 1980's under head coaches Mike Krzyzewski of Duke and Dean Smith of UNC, thanks to the emergence of cable channels such as ESPN and the increasing coverage of the ACC in national broadcasts by the three major networks giving a vast national audience more opportunities to see Duke vs North Carolina and Mike Krzyzewski vs Dean Smith.

Smith has the record for most wins by a men's college basketball coach, with 879 wins against only 254 losses. In 1982, with players Michael Jordan, Sam Perkins and James Worthy, he won his first national championship. Krzyzewski was hired as head coach of Duke University in 1981. He led Duke to five consecutive Final Fours, including championships in 1991 and 1992 behind Grant Hill and Christian Laettner. North Carolina was not to be denied the spotlight, though, winning the championship under Dean Smith in 1993. Since then, Duke won a third championship under Krzyzewski, in 2001. The excellence at Duke and UNC put both coaches in the Basketball Hall of Fame.

After Smith's retirement in 1997, Duke began to get the upper hand in the rivalry while North Carolina had to deal with three coaching changes (from Dean Smith to Bill Guthridge to Matt Doherty to Roy Williams) between 1997-2003. However, with the arrival of Carolina alumnus Roy Williams as head coach, North Carolina has once again become a top basketball program. UNC won another national championship under Roy Williams in 2005, and the rivalry remains as heated as ever.

ACC records

UNC-Duke rivalry in other areas

There is also a less intense football rivalry between the two schools over the Victory Bell. This rivalry has been less intense recently due to the fact that both schools have not typically fielded competitive football teams. However UNC has dominated Duke by winning 15 of the last 16 meetings with Duke and now owns a 52-36-4 advantage in the all-time series between the intrastate rivals. Also recently, many consider North Carolina's main football rivals to be NC State.

The rivalry between Duke and North Carolina has spilled over into other arenas. Recently, the rivalry has sparked the creation of the Carlyle Cup. This Cup is given each year to the school that has the most wins in a variety of sports over the other school.

Duke and North Carolina have also developed a strong women's college basketball rivalry since the 1990's. It is not as intense as the men's basketball rivalry, and it is also overshadowed by more prestigious women's basketball rivalries, such as the rivalry between Connecticut and Tennessee. Nevertheless, Duke and North Carolina field two of the strongest women's basketball teams in the ACC. Duke made four Women's Final Four appearances in 1999, 2002, 2003, and 2006. North Carolina won its first NCAA Women's Division I Basketball Championship in 1994, and made two Women's Final Four appearances in 1994 and 2006.

Twenty four students from the two schools got together from January 14-16, 2006 in order to attempt to break the world record for the longest continuous game of basketball ever recorded. The game set a new world record at 57 hours, 17 hours and 41 seconds with Duke winning the game 3699-3444. All $60,000 raised from the marathon benefited the Hoop Dreams Basketball Academy , an organization which helps children with life-threatening illnesses develop successful life skills through basketball.
