What a time to be alive.
So, they meet again.
There are plenty of good reasons to hate Duke guard Grayson Allen, but attempting to injure an opposing player is over the line. His trip of Florida State's Xavier Rathan-Mayes certainly fits the bill.
Florida State needs to start racking up the wins, but Duke will stand in its way next.
Now would be the ideal time for the Seminoles to go on a serious winning streak.
Louisville won't make the Big Dance for one obvious reason, but it still has the talent to knock off Duke.
Duke is red-hot. Louisville, consider that a warning.

The Duke Blue Devils and North Carolina Tar Heels squared off in The Battle For Tobacco Road on Wednesday night, and what a spectacular game it was. North Carolina had the ball down just one point on its last possession of the game, but Duke's Derryck Thornton was able to block a shot attempt from Joel Berry II. This cemented an important road win for the Blue Devils, along with plenty of bragging rights in the region.
Rankings, records and stats go out the window when Duke and North Carolina take the court against one another.
Duke vs. North Carolina ought to spice up this week in college hoops.
