Pregame

Duke fans have claimed the sportswriter's vote.

UNC fans control the political perspective (Although the authors are Swarthmore and Dartmouth grads, respectively).

But the best way to sum up the game? Two coaches. One was offered the Lakers job and made turning it down a public spectacle. The other? He turned it down three times. And you only know about it because of an offhand comment from the Lakers GM. Right there is the difference between Duke and Carolina.

Carolina wins.
